19/07/10 13:20
John Hawkins over at RightWingNews has a great article about things the Republicans can do to help out right wing bloggers.
Here are the 7 steps.
1) Funding help
2) Some sort of centralized teleconference scheduling
3) Feeding stories to bloggers
4) Promote Bloggers
5) Access to aides
6) Listen to bloggers
7) Build a relationship with the bloggers
He explains each of these in more detail in the article, and he has a good point. The Left has built an entire network of blogs, journalists, and other new media professionals that are adept at getting out their message. They have cultivated relationships with these people and assisted through the buying of ads and giving of information. The Right is way behind in this regard. They have shied away from the blogosphere, and in some cases are openly hostile. There are far too many on the Right that still resist using Facebook.
Life is changing, and Generations Y and Z don't communicate through traditional mediums. Newspapers and even television are slowly becoming obselete in terms of getting out a message. You can reach far more people for far less money by posting on Twitter and making a You Tube video. As long as the Right remains resistant to this change, they will continue to fail to reach the younger generations.
