Hi,
For my MA dissertation "User-generated content and participatory audiences in journalism" at Newcastle University I am currently conducting research into user motivation and participation.
Instead of looking at this topic from the journalists side, I want to focus on why people participate and how people engage in the production of user-generated content in a journalistic framework and if this can create a public sphere for discussion and debate outside mainstream media coverage.
For this purpose I am planning to conduct a survey among participants of several user-generated content platforms. Wikinews is one of the obvious choices and I would really appreciate it iif some of you would be able to take 5-10 minutes to participate in this survey.
The survey can be found at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=mvgoEG0e5sXprR2m6ILVxA_3d_3d
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to let me know...
thanks Rainer Kalupke
Brian, is this the Newcastle post you are taking about?
