If you're reading this blog, you probably think of the Internet as a--if not the--primary source of news.
It's a brave new media world for political junkies. If you're interested in helping two academics figure out exactly how people like you are finding political news online, head over here for a few minutes. The quadrennial survey, conducted by Dr. Barbara Kaye of the University of Tennessee and Dr. Tom Johnson of Texas Tech University during the last three election years, runs until Nov. 26th.
Sample questions:
How likely are you to purposely connect to online political sources that SHARE your point of view about political issues?
How likely are you to purposely connect to online political sources that CHALLENGE your point of view about a candidate?
I find my answers to these questions slightly embarrassing.
Your privacy is guaranteed - the survey is encrypted, no IP info collected, etc. Again, the survey is here.
