This is the first post to my brand new (and first!) blog - New Media and Society. This will be a resource for people interested in how new technologies shape (and are shaped by) society. I research and publish in the fields of e-democracy, political blogs, online discussion fora, internet censorship, moderation and how website design affects deliberation. For those of you particularly interested in political blogs, I'd point you to a forthcoming special issue of Information Polity that I am editing with Stephen Coleman on this subect. If you want more details of these, please check my UEA home page.
