Outlets for political steam in the UK

In a bid to find out what the punters are thinking, and to help them engage with issues politically, the BBC plans to launch iCan, a site "designed to help citizens investigate issues that concern them, find others who share those concerns and provide advice and tools for organizing and engaging in the political process," according to Wired News. The story is at http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,58715,00.html. The BBC introduced the iCan concept at the O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference in Santa Clara, California (http://conferences.oreillynet.com/cs/et2003/view/e_sess/3711). The BBC plans to assign journalists to monitor the online community for potential news stories. Posted by belinda at May 8, 2003 10:05 AM
