Watch it here: another new online public opinion site

Earlier this year, we introduced you to The Mark, an online opinion forum looking to inject more umpf into the discussion on public issues in Canada.

In a similar vein, several months ago PublicVoice.tv arrived at an internet near you. Looking to "raise voices on issues that matter," PublicVoice is a bit like a video-version of The Mark, providing an opportunity for users to watch short videos on a wide number of issues, from the funding of zoos to Aboriginal business.

Samara has done its part. In a three-part series, Alison Loat talks with Maclean's magazine's Scott Feschuck about the themes underlying our work. The first outlines some of these themes; the second explores the intersection between media and public policy and the final one looks at the role of citizens in all this.

We were disappointed we didn't get to talk more about our MP interview project or other activities, but we will provide ongoing updates over the fall. Watch this space!
