FEATURE IDEA

Zac Crain for Mayor of Dallas! I intend to investigate the Blog as a legitimate political platform as compared to the traditional media. How far is it possible to run a campaign for very little money via the internet using New Media avenues for your advertising and link to the voters?

Zac Crain is essentially trying to do just this. He has had interviews with local Dallas Bloggers and within which he has discussed the legitimacy of the blog, I hope to contact him to conduct an interview of my own. I will also look at the impact of Webcameron, and 18 Doughty Street as viable political media.

With online politicising there is a whole new audience of young web savvy politically turned off readers. Is this a perfect resource for the aspiring candidate if they can motivate that force to their aid.

Can the Blog ever be viewed as equal to the newspaper as a political platform?
