Vorarlberger Nachrichten, the "Newspaper of the Year 2006", is going one step further in terms of reader participation: the daily newspaper is launching a readers' advisory board. The committee comprises 30 people. The application phase started on Monday and the selection will be based on socio-demographic criteria. With the readers' advisory board, Vorarlberger Nachrichten wants to "become even more sensitive to the concerns, worries and suggestions of its readers", said Editor-in-Chief Christian Ortner according to SDA.
The advisory board meets with the editor-in-chief every other month to offer criticism and suggestions and to discuss new projects with the editorial team. Daily contact with the editors can be maintained via e-mail.
In last year's "Newspaper of the Year" award, the jury praised the newspaper's citizen participation models (see
