Blog Medvedev: aiming for public consent / Yagodin, Dmitry

Yagodin, Dmitry	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Publication

2012.

Summary/Abstract

This essay investigates the blog of Dmitrii Medvedev whose presidency marked the move of the Russian political field towards online communication. The case is an example of a hybrid model of blogging positioned between the official press service and informality of participatory media. I use the concept of symbolic power to explore the blog's search for public consent. The study also draws on a theoretical distinction between broadcast and post-broadcast forms of communication. In a generally hostile environment of the Russian blogosphere, the blog succeeds due to its discourse of effectiveness and connections with media networks both traditional and online.

Summary/Abstract

Weblogs (or blogs), as a form of communication on the Internet, have recently risen in prominence but may be poorly understood by both faculty and students.

The focus is on using blogs as part of class assignments to reinforce important skills, including critical thinking, political engagement, and essay writing. We also discuss existing academic and professional blogs that may be models for student blogging in political science.
