Beating the Odds wins UN media award
The ABC News Online Investigations team has been awarded the prestigious UN Media Peace Prize in Melbourne for Best Online report.
Woohoo! I did the social media strategy for this project. We had some fantastic input from readers - you can read them at the bottom of the page.
But obviously, the bulk of the credit goes to reporter Eleanor Bell and photographer Ed Giles, who uncovered some fantastic stories in Mt Druitt.

Storify: your thoughts on Afghanistan
At my day job - social media guy with the ABC - we've been experimenting with using Storify to collate viewer responses. Today, I've pulled together some content on the Afghanistan debate. Some great responses, and photos from isafmedia.
I was hoping the embed would work, but it doesn't. You can check it out here: http://storify.com/abcnews/should-australia-stay-in-afghanistan

Far from Freedom
This is Far from Freedom, the project I've been working on.
It's a special investigation into the plight of Iraqi refugees in Jordan, by Ed Giles and a bunch of talented people at the ABC.
I've been working on the social media side of it.
