"Blogs, Videos, and the Political Season"
Politics has led the new media revolution. And this year is promising already to be cutting edge.
Hillary Clinton does not typically show good numbers across all demographics when making public appearances. She has brilliantly counteracted that by having personal "visits" with her viewers of her website, thusly controlling her appearance. She has a new video about every week for you to watch.
Ironically, it has been the Conservative side of American Politics that has typically dominated new media, with Cable and now the Internet. Many believe John Kerry's demise in 2004 was because of a very strong right wing net base that attacked him on every front, mostly from the web.
Politicians have lived and died by the net so far in this short century. Heck, even journalists have lost their tenure because of "corrections" by bloggers.
And as the right has typically dominated the new channels, it seems to be the left whom have been cutting edge. You will recall that Howard Dean was able to get huge grassroots support thru his blogging efforts in 2004.
Now Hillary is Vblogging. And Obama is attacking back not on TV or Cable. But on You Tube!
