The Internet is transforming communications and the current presidential election is no different. Today, candidates reach out to the public via online debates, 24-hour news feeds, and social networking Web sites. Similarly, these online tools offer the public new outlets to engage in the political process and exercise greater influence over the candidates and issues than ever before.
The impact of the Internet is not only reshaping elections, but it also impacting how the media covers political campaigns and key events, such as the Democratic National Convention, to be held in Denver this August.
Some of the topics that will be covered include:
-- Online convergence of politics and technology

-- Best practices in navigating online news sources

discussion.
