How Pro-Democracy Projects Reach Their Audiences
Beyond websites: How pro-democracy projects reach their audiences
Across the world, there are many websites and apps that help citizens to better understand how their democracies work, and what their elected representatives are doing on their behalf. Historically, one of the main ways these tools could measure their impact was by tracking their visitor numbers and page views via website analytics tools. However, civic and pro-democracy tech projects are finding that citizens can’t, or no longer, directly visit their websites and apps.
