Headline: Can blogging aid democracy in emerging nations?
Nutshell: People by using the internet will become empowered to influence the direction governments take via Internet blogs.
Vision:Just as in the past when people attempted to change or influence the polictical direction of governments, e.g. Hungay 1956, through to Tiananmen Square in 1989. The internet will provide people with an immediate means of influencing media coverage of emerging threats to democracy.
