Blog Watch was conceived from lessons learned in 2004 elections through PCIJ traning of 3 bloggers, where focus of traditional media was on celebrity, scandals, election violence,mudslinging & scandals- exchange of accusations between parties and politicians becomes “entertainment”, campaign becomes talent show, candidates being contestants etc
Blog Watch is hosted by Vibal Foundation’s Philippine Online Chronicles and will be launched on November 24, 2009, from 11 am to 2 pm at the Max’s Restaurant in Bel-Air, Makati City
Blog Watch intends to cover underplayed stories in various formats (podcast, video, articles, commentaries) that will complement traditional media, such as stories that promote voters’ education and automated elections, campaign fund sources and expenditures, background of candidates, personal background, political background.
