We’ve been working in the digital democracy space for close to 10 years now, so it was nice to get a call from the Guardian back in May to ask if I (as one of the co-founders of Delib) would like to be featured in their Society interview section.
So of course we jumped at the chance, as not only is it a great way to put our small (but perfectly formed) company on the national (and international) stage, but also nice to know that we’re now at a stage of being recognised as leaders in our field – and an interesting bunch to boot!
We also see the Guardian piece as an important way of establishing digital democracy firmly on the public sector agenda. In these more austere times, using platforms and apps like ours is an easy and low cost way of engaging citizens, and drawing them closer into a more participative form of governance.
Anyway, the piece was finally published in last week’s paper, so if you didn’t catch it read the interview on the Guardian website here.
