MediaShift: Presidential Participatory Media
email discuss Posted by Alison Hanold on Feb 19, 2008 at 8:00 AM
Mark Glaser at MediaShift wrote a very interesting blog yesterday that contains a variety of ideas for the next President of the United States to engage in an open and transparent discussion with the public via participatory media. Some of these exciting ideas include a Presidential blog, a public policy wiki that can play a part in creating a bill before it goes to Congress, live online chats, a money flow chart, and an up to date schedule of who the President is meeting with.
These concepts are very exciting considering the growth of meaningful political dialogue online, but it leads me to ponder how censorship and monitoring would, against the ideals of this concept, almost inevitably come into play.
