Blogging in 2011: building an infrastructure for the left

Workshop session

This session is planned to spark discussion and practical suggestions for infrastructure building and future joint working. We’ll have short presentations from a diverse panel as well of plenty of scope for questions and discussion. We’ll be trying to answer these questions and more:

What is the current state of the political blogosphere? What is missing from the left’s online armoury?
How can left-wing bloggers better equip themselves to oppose a Tory-led government?
What scope is there to pool expenses and expertise?
Where might coming together help bloggers be more effective and secure?
How can bloggers and traditional campaign organisations work together for mutual benefit?
With the political “changing of the guard” mirrored online, what lessons should the opposing sides of the blogosphere draw from each other?
