Australian vote-a-matic
David Higgins, editor of Australia's NEWS.com.au, writes in to say that they have just launched a Vote-a-matic feature at http://www.news.com.au/youdecide2007, in preparation for an Australian federal election, which will be held before the end of the year.
He writes:
Our NEWS.com.au Flash "Vote-a-matic" asks voters axiomatic questions designed to identify voting intentions while eliminating party politics.We were able to get all major party leaders in Australia (including the prime minister John Howard) to record personalised video messages for our "how to vote" interactive... Depending on your answers, you end up with one of two videos for each leader... either thanking you for your vote or asking you to reconsider.
And to make it a bit more colourful we added in a comedian as the "host".

HuffingtonPost to launch election citizen journalism project in July
Arianna Huffington, of the Huffington Post, and Jay Rosen, a journalism professor at New York University, are planning on launching a new site in which bloggers will cover the top candidates in each party, starting in July.
We're calling it Off The Bus (OffTheBus.Net), a name that captures the essence of what we're looking to accomplish. Our disparate mix of citizen reporters won't be part of the mainstream pack covering the campaigns -- and will come at it from a wide range of different angles and perspectives, adding a new dimension to campaign journalism.

Compared with data gathered after the most recent mid-term election in 2002, the percentage of Americans who reported they went to the internet for most of their political news in 2006 more than doubled, from 7% to 15%, according to a new study from the Pew Internet & American Life Project.
