Online Participatory Journalism in Kazakhstan, part two

Today in class, we will discuss the sites students looked at for the assignment we began on Wednesday.

After that, we will continue the process of looking for signs of participatory journalism in Kazakhstan. The second part of the project will be to use the tools we have available (search engines, blogroll links, existing networks and knowledge) to come up with a list of potential examples of online participatory journalism in Kazakhstan. These may include weblogs, forums, listservs, standard websites, and so on.

Your assignment: Each student should come up with a list of potential sites to investigate (at least five) and post a link to that site by class time on Monday.

Required Reading: For next week (due for class Monday 5 November), read “Internet Governance in Kazakhstan,” pages 119 to 131 in the OSCE report, Governing the Internet. Note the link is to the entire document, but you only have to read one chapter.
