Media attention about multilingual website
CSU released a media statement about the launch of the multilingual speech website and position paper. As a result, Sarah Verdon and I have been interviewed on the radio. This afternoon we were interviewed by National Radio News and the interview has gone to 100 community radio stations around Australia with an audience of about 1.3 million listeners. Then we were interviewed by Janeen Hosemans at local radio station 2BS. The interviewers were interested in the world wide relevance of the information on the website, and the international collaboration that went into creating the information on the website.
