EcoRadio is an online environmental information service complementing 4ZZZ’s radio show of the same name. It also includes an archive including EcoRadio stories from 2012 and stories from The Generator from 2005 – 2010. This website and the EcoRadio email service is sponsored by the Ebono Institute.
An archive like this ensures that articles that may disappear from the public domain are preserved and complements feed based services such as Facebook and Twitter which, like broadcast media, are ephemeral and more or less synchronous in nature. Consider the case of NSW Premier Rees’ statement that ‘Coal is more important than food’. This has now largely been expunged from the public record and almost the only evidence that it was ever said is here, on The Generator.
The newsfeed is currently maintained by a network of contributors who have their own blogs with a similar ethos.
