I found Chris’ blog on eParticipation through a referral (he linked to me), but it looks interesting.

One of my core interests is how the convergence of communication media will impact the way eParticipation projects are shaped in the future. Little research has been done on this, that’s why I’m closely following other fields, where the art and science of crossmedia interaction design is more advanced.

His thesis on public crossmedia particpation through two case-studies is online, but it is only in German at this stage. I look forward to reading more about your research Chris.
