I just posted a case study over in NetSquared in Action based on the story, Blogging for Justice: The Gwen Araujo Murder, written by Tech Soup's Susan Tenby.

Here's a recap:  When the men accused of murdering Gwen Araujo, a woman they beat, bound and strangled after they discovered that she was biologically male, went to trial, Andy Shie Kee Wong, the Development Director of Community United Against Violence decided to use a blog to document the trial.  Volunteers, including CUAV's Speaker's Bureau Program Director, Connie Champagne, followed the trial's proceedings and recounted them on the blog.  They recorded the defendants' testimonies word for word and filled in the blanks for readers who may not have understood the subtleties of the proceedings.

Because many of CUAV's volunteer bloggers were more knowledgeable about issues such as the trans-phobic tactics that were being used by the lawyers, they were able to address many issues that the mainstream media missed.  The blog also kept people informed during the second trial, when media coverage had diminished, and eventually drew attention to the trial when the blog got news coverage. For more information, read Susan's story, listen to her interview with CUAV's Andy Shie Kee Wong and share how your organization has used blogging to further social change on the Tech Soup Forum.
