In a world first, Southern Lakes community news website <a href="http://crux.org.nz" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Crux</a> is to join forces with a global pioneer in the field of digital democracy – <a href="https://ethelo.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Ethelo</a>. The Local Democracy Project is designed to increase the power of the citizen.This will be the first time that public interest journalism and a digital democracy platform have joined forces. The founding principle of the project is that citizen engagement needs to be based on an educated and informed community.The partnership will marry public interest journalism and fast moving, agile citizen engagement. It’s an initiative to combat “survey fatigue” and add real journalistic impact to the way public opinion is measured and made to count.
