Blogs, Politics And Public Relations

Get the scoop on how the three intersect at PRWeek. The article, dubbed "Candidate 2.0," includes a few thoughts from me.

And here's an excerpt about David Schlosser of Advanced Micro Devices, a Libertarian Senate candidate in Arizona who blogs and sees blogs as a great tool for third-party candidates.

“The best thing about blogs, which is particularly true in the early stages in a campaign, is they expand your reach beyond your geography,” Schlosser says.

He counts readers in countries such as Russia, Korea, and the United Kingdom; while they are unlikely to provide funds and very unlikely to provide votes, Schlosser says that, by tracking stats, he can find people out of state directing Arizona citizens to his blog.

“The great thing about it is that anyone can read a blog, and then send it to someone in Arizona,” Schlosser says.
