Description

Christian Kreutz explores the potential of blogging for development. A blog enables users to engage in two-way conversations and link to one another to form new information-sharing networks. Blogging represents a shift from a more traditional, top-down mode of communication to a more 'publicly open and transparent' one. While the use of blogging for development is beginning to gain popularity, these blogs are still in limited use - and issues of access and literacy remain a fundamental challenge in many parts of the world.
