Here is a link to a wonderful new site by the team behind libr-critique, a contemporary french poetry and criticism website:
Vlogtrotter
Here is how Philippe Boisnard, who is behind the site, presents vlogtrotter and its first project, the Tangier Book Festival:
Vlog-trotter.com is a citizen journalism project based on the possibility of real time investigation with Net surfers' participation. The first project relates to the 11e Salon du livre international de Tanger, which will take place in Morocco. During 6 days, we will put interviews and videos about this event online. However, contrary to the traditional media, we will announce in advance who will be interviewed and the Net surfers who want to can transmit their questions via the comments . Indeed, this will enable to build an interactive report. This initiative takes up the idea developed by Tristan-Mendès France and Alban Fischer's blogtrotters.fr, who I know very well for having spoken about their travels to Kampuchea on agoravox.
Our report will also be accompanied by notes published on the literary website libr-critique.com, just as the audio files will be available on radioliste.org.
Among this year's guests, one can already cite Jean-Luc Nancy, Christian Prigent, Fabrice Thumerel and Philippe Boisnard. So let us not be shy and ask our questions!
