It’s Election Time! The airwaves are buzzing with politics. Who will win? What do the parties and candidates represent? Who cares?

Today Vibewire Youth Media opened electionWIRE on YouTube -- your channel to report the news of the Australian federal election 2010 your way. Meet the Vibewire Youthscape reporters -- new recruits who are stationed across Australia, out on the streets, armed with cameras, guided by your questions and ideas, and supported by a senior editorial team. You can suggest and submit stories and vote on ideas via the Google Moderator tool. With your help, these reporters will uncover the untold stories on this year’s election trail.



electionWIRE is calling on citizen contributions from the YouTube community. All you need is a camera and an Internet connection to make your voice heard. Here are some training videos for budding reporters, and assistance offered to young Australians wanting to get involved from the Australian Youth Affairs Coalition and Left-Right Think Tank.
