Political blogging in the UK is the topic for my master thesis. The recently published Guide to Political Blogging in the UK 2008-09 (http://www.totalpolitics.com/politicalblogs/graphics/Blogging_T_Low_Res.pdf) edited by Iain Dale says that your blog is rated in Top 200 of the UK Political Blogs. Therefore I am interested in your opinion. Could you please answer the following two questions?
1. What are you (or your editorial staff) geared to while picking up the topics for your blog? (additional details are highly appreciated)
- mainstream media
- other blogs
- your own policy (strategy) (if yes, can you please briefly list the main principles of it?)
- other (please, specify)
2. Can you please point out a case (or a few of cases) taken place within the last year, when, to your opinion, blogs have played a crucial role in setting public agenda?
Sincerely,
Irina Khaldarova
