I discovered this fascinating local debate site on my Google travels the other day: http://www2.harrogatetoday.co.uk/tesco/tescohome.asp.

There’s all kinds of things to examine and weigh up here, far too many to meaningfully comment on briefly now — the binary nature of the argument, the combination of new and traditional communication methods, the specific features of the site, the central involvement of a media outlet, the matter at hand, the duration of the debate etc etc — so I thought I’d just flag it up and let you mull it over at your leisure. Anyone fancy conducting a thorough investigation and analysis? We always want to see more measurement and evaluation…
