The way we look at our presidential election has changed with the influence of technology. With more technology out there, we have access to more information. We can find more information on our candidates that isn't shown through the media.
With references like Myspace Decision 08, and Myspace Election 08, students and young adults can be aware of what is going on throughout election, basically without going out of their way. They are given the same information as if they were to read the newspaper or watch the news. This makes it more accessible and helps the new generation be aware of whats going on. One problem I see happening with this, is that when they get older, they won't make the jump for teenage news to real life adult news.
Americans view news how it is given to them, that is how we have many biased and one sided, opinionated news sources. As Americans, we expect that the news companies have hired a team of experts to find the best way to reach us. They don't just promote the news, they promote it in the best way for it to be heard possible. They want to story to spread the fastest and most efficiently, which evidently includes them coming to us.
With internet now, some Americans don't take the time to read the print newspaper, they read the article summaries online, or wait for sections of it to be passed along in a chain email.
