New Media and Public Communication: Mapping Australian User-Created Content in Online Social Networks.

从社会和经济的角度来看，了解人们为广泛的目的贡献和使用互联网的方式对澳大利亚的未来都很重要。有效的、以证据为基础的政策取决于对当前澳大利亚人在线活动和兴趣水平的极大提高的理解。该项目提供了关于澳大利亚在线公共传播的社会、文化和技术动态的重要、详细的基线数据，可以为政府进一步加强国家数字经济的举措提供信息，并通过媒体参与最大限度地提高公民参与度。

Understanding the ways people contribute to and use the Internet for a wide range of purposes is important to Australia's future from both a social and an economic perspective. Effective, evidence-based policy depends on developing a vastly improved understanding of the current level of Australians' online activities and interests. This project provides crucial, detailed baseline data on the social, cultural and technological dynamics of Australian online public communication, which can inform further government initiatives to strengthen the country's digital economy and to maximise civic engagement through media participation.
