So mainly I picked up some journalism skills at Radio Sussex! That is going to be very interesting. The information networks should also gain much more traction in countries where the population don\'t regard the media as playing an integral part in democratic health. In those places there will be relative vacum, one which can be more easily filled by alternatives.

The thing that struck me after today's session, which I didn't include in the blog posting, is that some media in developing countries is going to be MORE networked than in the West - in the sense that once they get the (mainly mobile) technology going, places like Kenya show a greater propensity than, say the UK, for public participation. cheers Charlie Hi Nick,
