Blogs & video - key to 2008
The National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee has issued a guide for Republican candidates stressing the importance of blogs and online video for victory in the 2008 election.The first stop for press secretaries, according to the guidebook, should be bloggers who can create “buzz” and inevitably trigger stories in the drippy mainstream media
“Every campaign should film their candidate and record his/her every move at any event that is open to the public,” the guide states. “Campaigns should also remind their candidate that they should assume there is a camera on them at all times and act accordingly. It is also recommended that campaigns film their opponents’ public events as well.”
Not only that, candidates must appear in videos on their websites. They need to talk about issues….They need to go Oprah-style and get personal in a video blog, or vlog.
