Hi everyone interested in media projects,

this is something I am setting up in Germany in the moment: a temporary online platform for journalism about the grassroots and normal people in Germany before the election for German Chancellor in the end of September. Its called Wahlfahrt09 (www.wahlfahrt09.de) and we will travel for 50 days through 20 small cities of Germanys to get in touch with people normally not covered by the news. We are a team of journalists, photographers and video journalists, we will camp, we got some sponsors for cars, telephone and free camping and two big media partners (www.spiegel.de and www.dpa-info.com) and hopefully will show a different side of the German people before the elections than newspapers and tv stations could.

If you are interested, check our site or join us on Facebook (Wahlfahrt09), twitter: wahlfahrt09 - its all in German though, sorry. But if someone is out there doing similar stuff, I´d love to get in touch.

Best from Hamburg, Germany
