Read My Day? Communication, campaigning and councillors' blogs
Published: Wednesday 28th May 2008
Scott Wright, School of Political, Social and International Studies, University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK, has published an interesting article analysing how and why councillors blog on ICELE's civic blogging platform, ReadMyday (now Bloginabox!)
Through a mixture of content analysis and interviews, the article assesses the kinds of communication being facilitated and how the blogs were used during the 2007 local elections. The article concludes that blogs were largely used as tools of representation rather than for campaigning.
