Even though November elections are more than 8 months away Campaign 2008 has been in full swing for a while and mainstream media has made sure that they have been following every second of it.
All of the major news networks and their accompanying websites and partners have devoted hundreds of hours to make sure they grab as many people into their coverage over the next. My question is what makes each so different. If one outlet, say msnbc's political site has this great story that at the time its publish no one else has, I'm positive within one hour of publishing Fox New's political site will have the same story.
So the most difficult part of Campaign 2008 for the voter is finding good ORIGINAL coverage. A good one stop shop for coverage is ThePage. Although it is run by CNN and Time Magazine, it brings everything you could ever want to know together. It is a great example of what online journalism can do.
