Cultural blogging in Europe

Cultural blogging in Europe
by Annette Wolfsberger | Credits

Who blogs? What are they blogging about? Which audiences and communities are being engaged? What are the language-specific issues and the economic models? And how sustainable are they?

Cultural blogging is not (yet) a well-known category within the blogosphere. LabforCulture wanted to find out more about the role of blogging in the cultural sector generally and what it means for LabforCulture specifically. They asked Annette Wolfsberger, project manager at Virtueel Platform, the Dutch sector institute for e-culture, to interview cultural bloggers across Europe. The interviews are published from April to June 2009, and the results of our research will be published in a short paper.

Their specific focus was to look at individual European blogs that take contemporary and popular culture as their main starting point. This ‘viral exploration’ includes a series of in-depth interviews with bloggers from the United Kingdom, Poland, Italy and the Netherlands, among others.
