Interactivity Among Political Blogs
As alluded to in this “blog” before, interactivity is one of the mainstays of internet journalism, and a potential USP for the medium. Among the political blogs I have read, they retain this importance and are an integral part of how they work.
Taking what many of these news sites are: links to other stories, it is obvious that interactivity is one of the most important, if not the most important, feature of many sites. The concept of a site being a “terminal” from which to branch out to other stories is enshrined in the concept of interactivity. This is the case for many sites below and can not be underestimated when dealing with the features of political blogs.
