Convention Closeout

This week marks the end of convention season for the 2004 Election, and, given all the attention on blogging, politics, and journalism, it seems an appropriate time to reflect on the role of new media in politics. Berkman Fellow David Weinberger does exactly that in a special online audio series, IT Conversations, about technology in politics. Also, the Berkman Center has begun planning a special conference in December -- the third installment of our Internet and Society conference series -- to take a hard look at what effect, if any, the Internet has political organizing and campaigns, both at home and abroad. Visit the website for the conference, Votes, Bits, and Bytes, for more details, and register here to receive announcements as information becomes available.
