New Pew Report on Internet & Election 2004
ø
Fascinating report and commentary. Here’s the announcement:
The Pew Internet & American Life Project has just released a report and
a commentary about the internet’s role in the 2004 election. The report
is based on a post-election survey and documents how and why the
internet became an essential part of American politics in 2004. Fully 75
million Americans – 37% of the adult population and 61% of online
Americans – used the internet to get political news and information,
discuss candidates and debate issues in emails, or participate directly
in the political process by volunteering or giving contributions to
candidates.

I’m sure we’ll hear much more about this here at the Berkman Center in the weeks to come.
