The Internet Now Center Stage for U.S. Presidential Campaigns
Excerpt:
""We did a survey after the 2006 elections in America and found that the role of the Internet was growing as an important news source and information source for people that cared about politics, " says Lee Rainie, Director of the Pew Research Center's Internet and American Life Project. Rainie adds the Web is also, increasingly, the way Americans communicate about politics. "They trade e-mails and other kinds of exchanges, talking about the candidates and the issues.
Rainie believes that Internet video, which is already in wide use on most candidates' web sites, is becoming an essential fixture of the 2008 presidential campaign. Even before officially launching his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney created a website filled with videos outlining his position on national issues, and slick promotional messages touting Romney as presidential material."
