How internet changes US election?
Media gives impact to voters? What’s the difference between the battle of Kennedy vs Nixon in 1960 and today’s presidential politics?

The end of radio
IN the middle of riding back home from the office, my friend and I ended up talking about radio. In the old times, at least while I was in junior high, radio is all about music and community.

Lewat, lewat, lewat. Ya. Koran atau majalah mana pun lewat jika dibandingkan dengan pemberitaan online pembunuhan pemimpin oposisi Pakistan (dan mantan perdana menteri) Benazir Bhutto beberapa hari lalu. Ya, ya, ya. Beberapa koran memasang infografis seputar kronologi kejadian. Tapi semuanya dull. Coba lihat bagaimana The New York Times mengemas berita heboh ini: sajian multimedia berupa slideshow foto-foto [...]— Firman Firdaus • December 30th, 2007

Wikipedia for propaganda
NOT quite a new modus, but it’s getting worse and worse. A threat to open global information service? Wikipedia user deleted 15 paragraphs from an article on e-voting machine-vendor Diebold, excising an entire section critical of the company’s machines. While anonymous, such changes typically leave behind digital fingerprints offering hints about the contributor, such as the [...]— Firman Firdaus • September 12th, 2007
