Blogs in the political sphere
The web is becoming ever more a part of the political sphere. We’ll have a look at how politicians and politically active citizens use blogs. We can look at political blogs from two sides. On the one hand we have grassroots blogs from the citizens to the politicians, which we can define as civil journalism. On the other hand we have attempts to reach citizens politically. We’ll present examples from Slovenia and across it’s short borders.
