Parlia
Parlia is website dedicated to collecting public opinions on a variety of social and political opinions using short polls. It self-describes as "an encyclopedia of opinion, a project looking to map all of the world's opinions".[1] The name Parlia is derived from the Old English word for negotiation, to "parley."[2] The project was founded by Turi Munthe and J. Paul Neeley. Turi Munthe previously founded Demotix, at the time the "world’s largest network of photojournalists" which sold to Corbis, a Bill Gates company, in 2013.[3] J. Paul Neeley previously founded Yossarian Lives.
Parlia is not a debate site, but looking to "showcasing all opinions in a calm, descriptive voice."[3] The ambition of Parlia is to build a "platform that could map all opinions about everything."[2]
History
The initial funding for development of the Parlia prototype came from a Paul Hamlyn Foundation Ideas and Pioneer Fund[4] and a Google Digital News Innovation Fund grant (DNI).[5] According to Google "The Digital News Innovation Fund (DNI Fund) is a European programme that's part of the Google News Initiative, an effort to help journalism thrive in the digital age."[6] The Google DNI grant was awarded on the fund's 4th round.[5]
Parlia is part of the Somerset House Exchange program, based in London, United Kingdom .[7]
