How Ukrainian journalists and civic activists use Twitter during elections?
In late 2009 early 2010 on the eve of Presidential Elections we came up with idea to use Twitter on covering election process. Twitter is supposed to be the fastest tool to deliver first-hand evidences from witnesses.
We created a platform which accumulate messages. Moreover, we used a set of hashtags to mark messages (tweets). National level reports - with #elect_ua, reports of election fraud - with #elect_sos, regional reports (we had 5 key regions, 10 more joined us later) - by the name of the region - #elect_od for Odessa, #elect_te for Ternopil etc
How did it work? Pls, see presentation:

Magazine for 24 hours - flashmobs by our participants
The most valuable part of MediaNext – our participants. David Brewer describes them as Middle Media. Why middle media? As they come from different areas – professional journalists, sociologists, IT-specialists, bloggers, designers, civic activists. One of the most visible outcome of people who met under MediaNext events was a series of journalists’ flashmobs called Magazine for 24 hours. A team of had to create and publish a magazine (from 28 to 90 pages) in Internet at the end of 24 hour timeline.
