Emergence of the Progressive Blogosphere

There has been a great deal of discussion about Internet activism and blogs over the past few years. Yet, blogs are consistently viewed through the traditional lenses of politics or media, rather than as the communal social phenomenom that they are. Real political power and influence is now being wielded through online communities comprising millions of people. And trends suggest that this is only the beginning. Indeed, what we have seen to date are the outlines of a new politics.

A memo put out by NDN PAC offers basic background on political blogs, and strategic recommendations for effectively channeling their growing influence. It has been written by bloggers for use by the progressive political community and is grounded in the available data and first-hand political experience.

To read the rest of the memo, check out NDN PAC's website
