How will blogs, YouTube, Facebook, websites and other forms of new media affect the 2008 U.S. presidential elections? Read my first post on the Huffington Post's OffTheBus to find out:

Campaign '08 Online: The Not-So-New Media

I interviewed Matt Rosenberg, Group Director of Media and Entertainment at Organic, about this topic. He provided some very relevant insight into how these new forms of digital communication are both clouding and clarifying presidential candidates' messages.

Read all the illuminating details here.

I hope these mediums will affect the election in a positive way, by making people think and read viewpoints they wouldn't normally see on their local evening news.

gautami — LOL! Yes, a blogging president — we shall see. ;)

Much power to your already powerful pen, too! All good things for Christmas and New Year's, right back to you.

Hello and welcome!

My name is Kristin Gorski. I recently earned my doctorate (EdD) in instructional technology and media. My research focuses on technology and literacies, writing in digital spaces, and how media literacy may support academic literacy (among other incredibly interesting topics). On occasion, I’m also a freelance writer and editor. “Write now is good.” is my personal blog about writing, creativity and inspiration (with healthy doses of technology in relevant places). I started it in blogging's heyday (2006) and still post to it, time permitting. If you'd like to collaborate on a project, have writing/technology/creativity info to share, or want to say, "Hi," contact me at kgwritenow (at) yahoo dot com.
