Blogging America: Political Discourse in a Digital Nation by Barbara O’Brien looks to be an interesting read. An excerpt:
While the powerful few have struggled to gain tighter control of mass media, a new medium for political dialogue has emerged—the Internet. This new medium cultures robust political dialogue among people across the nation and around the world. And leading this discussion—generating topics, presenting information, and facilitating new perspectives—are bloggers. . . . We are on the threshold of something new—the web as a big, powerful, and easily accessible medium that is outside the top-down media establishment.
