Elections in the Internet era
16. Juni 2008
Posted by Bob Boorstin, Washington Director of Policy Communications
Days after the close of the U.S. presidential primaries, political pundits, campaign strategists, journalists, technologists, and others gathered at our Washington office to discuss how the "
first 21st century campaign
" is changing politics as we know it. Topics ranged from the democratization of voices in the media to the power of small donors and community organizers to Lindsay Lohan's political clout.
"Obama Girl" producer
Ben Relles
gave us a sneak peek at his upcoming YouTube video.
Lizz Winstead
, co-creator of the
Daily Show
, gave her thoughts on TV journalism today, and why it gave rise to political comedy online and on television.
Christopher Hitchens
shared why he thinks everyone wants to vote in an American election. And the Internet directors from the McCain, Obama, Romney and Clinton campaigns assessed the role of technology in getting out the vote.
