Web Gazettes started as a blog about newspaper web sites – regional newspaper web sites in the state of Victoria (Australia), in particular. While this is still what interests me, I’m hoping to turn this blog into something a little less academic and a little more fun.
My name is Chelsea and I’m a postgraduate Publishing and Communications student at the university of Melbourne. When I’m not considering the future of newspapers, I like to read, plant trees, and do stuff outdoors generally. I’m a traditionalist amongst a generation of computer nerds, wifi-ers and movie fanatics (yes, I am 20-something years old). I guess that’s what makes me unique, and it explains why a person my age would care about a culture so seemingly old-fashioned. I’m all for change and moving forward, but some things are just worth keeping. (Even if the packaging just needs an update.)
