Welcome to the new ERN Blog
Posted by Toni Sant in Blog, Documentation on May 1, 2011
Welcome to the new blog from the Eurovision Research Network!
Various ERN members will be blogging live from Düsseldorf in the two weeks running up to the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 final and in the aftermath of the event. This is a new direction for ERN as we seek to engage less formal and dynamic elements of research on location and from participant observers.
Any registered member of the Eurovision Research Network can post on this blog, which is moderated by a small group of ERN editors to ensure flow and continuity as well as delivering us all from mischievous commentaries that belong elsewhere on the Internet.
Comments are always welcome from all, of course!
