Campaigning (Mar/Apr 09 Technology Review)
--cable has become in many ways the primary medium of political
discussion on television now
ahead of broadcast, thanks to an almost
singular focus on politics. That is important given the
time the medium
now gives over to spin doctors, to opinion hosts and its need for nearly
minute-by-minute assessments. (Pew)
--The press was much more "reactive" and less
enterprising in its campaign coverage. In one
example, the (Pew State of
The News 2009) report cited that in 1992, the Washington Post
produced
13 big profiles of candidates while in 2008 it was only three. (source)
