John Edwards and DisintermediationA few days ago I posted about John Edwards as the Democratic Dark Horse. The main question comes at the end of the piece; “The ultimate question may be whether the Edwards campaign manages to utilize the internet as a means to disintermediate the dominant mainstream media narratives which disparage the populist progressive movement.” The next day I came across this piece on the “Wired Magazine” blog, which showcases an interview of JE by Joshua Micah Marshall. Stirland writes; You can also see the interview at the link. This story came across the wire yesterday.
I know we’ve seen organizations and political campaigns take out news paper adds. I can’t recall when I’ve seen a candidate buy a TV add quite in this matter. Disintermediation is an idea which grows out of viral marketing and what not. I first saw the term used within a political context in Ezra Kein’s fantastic piece, The New New Gore. stuart noble September 13, 2007 - 11:30pm
