Bloggers on the Web Effect on Politics and Government

On April 4th, 2008 there was a discussion at NYU discussing the web's effect on politics. GroundReport has a full length video of the panel, under New York Documentary entitled "How the Web is Changing American Politics".

Some of the topics highlighted in the discussion were
  • Success based on candidate's social network strategies
  • Polls can no longer be trusted
  • Bottom up approach (Power moving from the elite to the masses)
  • Democratization of the media by blogging
  • Utilization of the web by campaigns in the future
