New group weblogs
Here are links to two new sites that use the weblog format.
RealClimate.org discusses recent developments in climate science:
RealClimate is a commentary site on climate science by working climate scientists for the interested public and journalists. We aim to provide a quick response to developing stories and provide the context sometimes missing in mainstream commentary.
Highly instructive reads.
Supervised by Andrew Lih and Dan Gillmor, ChatterGarden.com is a project of University of Hong Kong New Media Workshop, taught during the Fall term of 2004. Unlike many other courses using the technology, this is a genuine online citizen journalism project that isn’t tucked away behind a login screen:
It is an online community for news and discussion about Hong Kong regional politics and public affairs. By allowing anyone to participate, it provides an independent and diverse forum for news, information, and exchange about Hong Kong’s local issues, future, and relations with China. By using a participatory journalism model, readers and contributors are one in the same.
Good stuff — worthy of imitation.
