This Forum will discuss the 2000 presidential election and the media. What
are the underlying dynamics of the election, and how has the race unfolded?
Who is likely to win and why? How have political communications -- through
traditional media such as television and new media such as the Internet --
shaped the 2000 election? What innovations in electoral politics and
political
communications have come about through the Internet? How does the
American political experience with new media compare with that of other
countries?
