[Imc-uk-features] Re: [www-features] Indymedia Online Survey

[Ulla Rannikko]

Dear all,

When I approached Indymedia about my research project I did not know what kind of response to expect. I understand now that you get numerous requests from social researchers and that for various reasons some of you are sceptical about academic research.

As it has become clear to me that a link to a survey is not going to happen, I will follow Anna’s suggestion on trying to contact users through mailing lists; I can only hope that list administrators will not block my emails.

Thank you for all of you who have kindly advised me, commented my request and asked further questions, to which I have answered truthfully.

Best wishes,

Ulla
