| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Politicians in democracies the world over have begun enthusiastically adopting and adapting web-based methods for communicating with voters and constituents. This article examines one method, i.e. blogging, in the context of legislators in Taiwan and South Korea, two of the most switched-on democracies in the world. Comparing these cases to each other and to the western cases that dominate the literature, the article provides empirical findings on the scale of uptake and the place of blogging amongst other media. It asks who is blogging, what are they blogging about and are they promoting interaction with constituents? |
