Have you seen ElectionWIRE? Vibewire is sending teams of young reporters and media makers across Australia out to cover the federal election from a new perspective — a youth perspective!

But the Portal team want you to get a slice of the action too. Whether you’re a budding political journalist, commentator or Australia’s next satirical master, the Portal Election Feed is a space where you can share your take on the federal election. We want your opinion and reportage on the candidates, the parties, their policies, slogans, what issues they’re missing, or stats on who out of Gillard and Abbott has kissed the most babies.

As a Portal Election Feed contributor you will receive support and editorial direction from the ElectionWIRE managing editors and access some of the resources available to the ElectionWIRE reporter teams. Not only will you see your work published on Portal, but your work may also be chosen to feature in the Vibewire Quarterly Anthology, on the Youthscape website, and to accompany ElectionWIRE reporter videos on our YouTube channel!

All you have to do to get involved is send your expression of interest, or completed contribution to editor@vibewire.org.

If you havn’t seen ElectionWIRE yet check out our YouTube channel to watch the first round of ElectionWIRE reporter videos, or head to Vibewire’s Youthscape website to meet the reporters, hear from experts, or to learn from industry heavyweights first hand in our resources section.

As populations scatter by choice and necessity in a global diaspora, people are finding themselves separated, far away from their home, family and friends. Instead of proximity, online social media has stepped in as the primary definer of relationships. In the 21st century we find ourselves simultaneously connected and separated. Are we even connected at all?
