Citizen journalism at the Brisbane Club
Nice post by Graham over at Ambit Gambit on Brendan Nelson’s shaky performance at the Brisbane Club yesterday.
I guess I should disclose again that Graham is a colleague in our Industry Linkage Project. Putting that aside, this is the kind of blogging that I’d nominate as citizen journalism, as distinct from gatewatching metacommentary on the MSM agenda. Graham has gone into a forum where the MSM either can’t or won’t go and has given us a stylish, first-hand snapshot of Brendan Nelson’s current efforts to sell himself and his agenda to a sceptical electorate.
(I’d suggest that if a Liberal leader has trouble convincing the audience at the Brisbane Club, he’s likely to have ongoing trouble, but that’s by the by).
