Digital Campaigning Underutilized - Robyn Greenspan, cyberatlas
American politicians have underutilized the digital campaign trail, and candidates that grasp this powerful tool might be better positioned for 2004 elections. Data from a joint report from the Institute for Politics Democracy and the Internet (IPDI) and the Pew Internet & American Life Project suggests that campaigners are starting to catch on to the electronic power of the people, but they have a long way to go to reach their constituencies. "In the next campaign, more people will use the Internet to get political information. Billions more e-mails will fly back and forth. The number of politically related sites will proliferate. And fewer candidates will be behind the times online. Internet politics is moving from the toddler stage to something much more mature," said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet & American Life Project.
