I am looking for research/researchers exploring the use of social/citizen media in rural communities/areas. This might include uses of interactive web 2.0 tools and the like either autonomously by rural folks "MySpace" or collectively around local community "OurSpace." Cheers, Steven Clift E-Democracy.Org P.S. We are working up a grant proposal to extend Issues Forums <http://e-democracy.org/if to a few rural Minnesota communities built from a series of generic citizen media and online engagement outreach presentations across the state. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
