Survey for bloggers and blog readers

Bloggers and blog readers are bing invited to participate in the 2010 bloggers’ survey.

It is  a follow up to the 2008 survey which was conducted by Andrew Cushen as part of his Master of Arts in Political Studies from the University of Auckland.  The results of that are here.

An email from the researchers says:

 The original survey provided an amazing amount of data about who is participating in New Zealand political blogging, their interests and their motivations. This survey seeks to gain further detailed insights into New Zealand political blogging to inform academic articles and presentations. The 2010 survey has been shortened and improved from that used in 2008 to further assist your responses.

It doesn’t take long to complete.

The link for the survey for bloggers is: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ZPCCH3F  and the blog readers’ survey can be found at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ZPWT22T.

The researchers are asking for responses to be completed by this Sunday December 19.
