An Agorati widget on lesoir.be

Since the end of May 2010, Agorati is present on the local news pages of lesoir.be, first online news portal in Belgium. It offers a widget retrieving all publications from politicians on their blogs, whatever the color or the language. A good sign of the complementarity that exists between professional, journalistic press, and the web monitoring by the civil society. Agorati takes advantage of that visibility: we saw an increasing demand for registration from politics, and a sudden boost in Agorati’s global audience. We’ll still have to analyse the trend in the long-term and observe how far our politicians have evolved in the use of those new medias to renew their relationships with citizens - with voters.

Serge Fontinoy was also interviewed by Gil Durand, journalist at Le Soir, on the daily trends in the days preceding June 13.
