>Hi Sarah -

>I've seen a few papers presented at APSA Conference 2004, try searching

>
>http://archive.allacademic.com/publication/apsa_index.php
>
>At least three-four papers should will come up (in case they don't I
>have hard copies).
>
>There was a very, very thought provoking round-table as well, with
>academics and bloggers, though I doubt it can be found online now. A
>summary is found at http://136.142.121.233/doc/ITP-News-Vol-1-No-1.pdf.

>Finally, there is a report by the UK Hansard Society, concise but
>useful.

>I am drafting a short piece about pol blogs in the UK, I'd be interested
>to see what else you come up with in the end. Can you please post back

>Sarah,
>I recently completed a master's thesis in this area: a content analysis of the
>top 11 political news blogs vs. newspaper coverage of nine Democratic
>candidates in the 11 days leading up to the 2004 Iowa caucus. I pulled in some
>candidate popularity data and considered the mass comm theory of
>agenda-setting. A highlight: the amount of coverage candidates received in
>both the top blogs and in newspapers was highly positively correlated to each
>other, and to candidate popularity with the public.
>
>Here are some references, maybe these will be useful (to authors below who are
>on the list, I hope you won't mind me mentioning your work!).
