Journalism is becoming ever more interactive with its audience and I was interested to see this on the Guardian’s website. The paper has invited its readers to post their messages for America’s next president, Barack Obama, on a page the paper set up on Flickr.

The Flickr site with its pages of messages is another proof- along with the much viewed election coverage- that people do care about what is going on at home and abroad and if given a platform will happily share their views.
