New Study: Online Sources Shape Policy Positions

A new study released by Edelman: “Capital Staffers Index A Trans-Atlantic Analysis of Digital Media’s Impact on Shaping Policy” shows the impact online sources are having on policymaking.

Some of the more interesting findings from the study:

Digital media has moved from a passiveresource to an active driver of public policy.

We are witnessing an “about face” with an increased use of Facebook to supplement face to face interaction among policymakers and constituents

The blogosphere has become an important channel for researching and shaping policy with nearly 40% of staffers using it to monitor news on policy issues and to secure constituent opinion

Additionally, the study found that:

One in five staffers have changed a policy position based on online sources.

This new study quantifies the power the internet and new media have on policymaking. At Revere Strategy Group, we are constantly developing new ways to use technology to advocate for our clients.
