Will be interesting stuff, I know that since my firm cut staff, I have been having to work from my desk a great deal more and being less out and about talking to contacts. I endeavour to do so but when you are a staff of one on a mag that used to have a second person it is hard. Anyway moan aside, doing more with less, ra ra ra, good luck with research. I'm totally of the opinion that a virtual hub should never replace popping in on contacts. Certianly, in my opinion the better journos, here are the ones that manage to get out of the office more often no matter how hard this makes meeting deadline. (PS - you guest lectured by MA magazine course at UCLan - and looking forward to you following politicians' whereabouts) Congrats on the funding and sounds like great research.

Well deserved. One of the chaps on our Phd programme got us to play a couple of outdoor games using GPS devices. Nice and strange! Be interesting to see it at work in your hands. The mapping should be interesting, particularly in online journalism which can often be processing vs primary newsgathering on location for other forms of reportage. Equally, the movement of newsgathering, progress of the story and its shelf life. But what am I talking about, that's for another tranche of money me thinks. Well done you. Well deserved.
