outline for part two of my thesis
forgot to mention this...
i have made some progress on the outline for part two of my thesis. i'm starting out with a short intro (political blogs in general, though i might still bump that up into the first part), then performing two case studies, the US prez election of 2004, and the german general election of 2005, then rounding things off with a general look at the possibilities of weblogs in elections and giving some sort of outlook.
in the case studies, i will look at (and provide examples of) the different types of political blogs dealing with the election: those by politicians themselves, by their campaigns and their parties, by the traditional media, by other bloggers. i will also look at the ideas of a top-down vs. bottom-up approach of political campaigns online - the latter of which i am not expecting to find in the german elections (yet).
my plan is to draw on some statistics for the different types of blogs, generated from the number of user comments (or similar), and use that as some sort of indicator for the audience attracted.
additionally, case study 1 (US) will look at the effect of blogs in the dean for america campaign, and in building publicity for the "swift boat veterans for the truth".
seeing that in my previous post i just declared my inability to write any more sensible content tonight, i wonder how this will look in the morning. comments welcome as always.
