Voice, equality, and the Internet (Howard Dean).
Hindman, Matthew Scott.

Voice, equality, and the Internet (Howard Dean). - 247 p.

Adviser: Larry Bartels.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Princeton University, 2005.

In some avenues of political expression---particularly fundraising and campaign volunteer work---the Internet does seem to have engaged a broader, more representative cross-section of the public. Nonetheless, the power of elites in online politics seems to equal or even exceed the previous status quo. Online audiences look at least as concentrated as audiences for traditional media. In most online political niches, winners-take-all patterns of links and traffic mean that a small handful of sites drown out the rest. Female and minority voices receive even less attention in the blogosphere than they do in the nation's top op-ed pages, and at least half of all blog traffic goes to bloggers with doctoral degrees.

520 # $a In some avenues of political expression---particularly fundraising and campaign volunteer work---the Internet does seem to have engaged a broader, more representative cross-section of the public. Nonetheless, the power of elites in online politics seems to equal or even exceed the previous status quo. Online audiences look at least as concentrated as audiences for traditional media. In most online political niches, winners-take-all patterns of links and traffic mean that a small handful of sites drown out the rest. Female and minority voices receive even less attention in the blogosphere than they do in the nation's top op-ed pages, and at least half of all blog traffic goes to bloggers with doctoral degrees.
520 # $a Many have suggested that the Internet might help make American politics less exclusive---that it might recruit previously inactive citizens into political participation, help equalize disparities in political resources, and lessen the influence of political elites. Never uncontroversial, these claims have recently received renewed respect due to the success of online fundraising and the growing readership of blogs. Has the Internet truly amplified the political voice of average citizens? This thesis seeks to answer that question. It begins by considering the Internet in the context of similar debates in the early years of broadcasting. It continues by studying several areas where the Internet's impact on politics has been widely celebrated. It examines communities of Websites on political topics. It looks at the ability of search engines to direct citizens to relevant political Web pages. It offers a critical take on blogs, which are now read by millions of citizens. It dissects Howard Dean's remarkable run for the presidency.
520 # $a Ultimately, this study concludes that the Internet has had countervailing impacts on political voice. The Internet may help level existing political inequalities, but it has also created new ones.
