Book Presentation

While the liberal blogosphere has been gaining power and influence for several years, the 2008 presidential election campaign marked the emergence of this phenomenon as a force which literally changed the landscape of how political campaigns are organized, funded, and kept accountable. Bloggers on the Bus showcases a number of stories from the 2008 presidential campaign that illustrate the impact made by the Internet and bloggers on the mainstream media, the campaigns, and the candidates themselves.

Eric Boehlert is an award-winning journalist who writes extensively about media and politics. He is the author of Lapdogs: How the Press Rolled Over for Bush and is currently a Senior Fellow for Media Matters in America.
