Blogging the Election

Blogging the Election is the first bloggers conference in Ireland. On October 7th, bloggers and politicians, journalists and political analysts will gather to discuss political blogging in Ireland with a view to discussing how Election 07 will be blogged.

Blogging the Election Conference
The Digital Hub, Dublin
October 7th, 2006
From 10.30am to 4.30pm

Inaugural conference on blogging and politics to be held in Dublin on October 7th.

The heavyweights of the growing Irish blogging community will mix with politicians, journalists and interested members of the public at an event called “Blogging the Election” In Dublin in October. The event is being billed as an informal meeting and discussion on how new Internet tools like blogging can help and influence the very traditional political process in Ireland.

Politics website IrishElection.com will be running the event with the support of political commentator Mick Fealty from website SluggerOToole.com, campaigner Suzy Byrne from MamanPoulet.com and Internet lobbyist Damien Mulley.

Cian O’Flaherty from IrishElection.com stated “Irish Politics has yet to embrace and tap into the ability of the Internet to energise interest in politics and political campaigning. The ‘Blogging the Election’ event will explore how bloggers can benefit elections and help shape the future of politics.”

Mick Fealty from Slugger O’Toole added “Next year’s general election holds possibilities for a blogging breakthrough in Irish politics and we will be exploring this issue in depth via experienced guest speakers and by facilitating a series of open spaces in which participants can host their own conversations, probing issues that they are passionate about.”

About blogging and politics

Blogging has revolutionised online communication in way that few previously imagined. It has allowed intelligent audiences to make faster and smarter responses that often disrupt traditional top down news flows. It puts considerable power in the hands of ordinary citizens to disrupt cosy consensuses of established political and media elites.

In the US, bloggers have shaped some of the biggest news stories and continue to provide a decisive influence, even inside political parties. In Britain, a new breed of aggressive anti-government bloggers has been generating stories that have brought them into the centre of the mainstream establishment, the Deputy Prime Minister the most senior politician to feel the heat.

if memory is correct the Hub failed, fails and is failing.

Under-subscribed, under-used, under-nourished.

Who sponsored the hub, paid for it's building and does the media

commercial market-management?

Is it State/Council/Private concerns?

If it is a private sponsor do they have a link to political parties?

One big fan of the Hub, who I am accquainted with is a failed
councillor and works behind the desk of a manistream political party.
Be careful with whom you share your ideas....

What we need is non-voting election anti-patthy blog for large percentage that won't be voting. Who can DIY instead.

Blogging the election?

Shaping the debate???

Some bloggers are clearly trumped on some serious self delusion, kudos for those who are going to "mix it" with politicians (Wow!) but hold on one startlin' moment. Hurling from the ditch is one thing but the real way to make an active difference in next year's election (most likely next year, could be sooner I suppose) is to work politically in the intervening years and actually put your ideas on the line.

I have a blog, and I will be blogging the election doubtless.

But, I'll be doing it on the basis of being as ever an activist.

Keyboard warriors of the world unite?

I don't bloody think so.
