I sat down in a local coffee shop, opened up my MacBook (since our mobile gear is missing), and had a chat with Mark Latham of Voter Media and the Vancouver Election Blog Contest.

Mark explains a bit about his background, his passion, and his motivation for initiating Voter Media.

Here are all of the blogs currently listed in the weekly contest:

  • The Tyee

  • David Eby
  • Hummingbird604.com
  • The Vancouver Observer
  • Vancity Buzz
  • In Support of Public Education
  • Price Tags*
  • Left eye on Vancouver
  • Paul Hillsdon
  • Stephen Rees
  • The Vancouver Manifesto
  • ursa minor: bear604
  • Bill Tieleman
  • Walter Schultz
  • Miss 604

    • Also mentioned is the UBC campaign, the UBC Insiders blog, and Sean Orr of Beyond Robson.

    You can also keep up to date on Voter Media through Mark’s blog.

      Great interview, and it was great to have Mark actually interview you, Rebecca. I’m also glad that Mark is on Twitter now :) As a social scientist myself, his work and mine are very similar in many ways. Wonderful stuff!
