“…Ces canaux de communication sont apparus sur la scène politique virtuelle aux États-Unis en 2001 et ont progressivement accru leur influence au sein du système politique (Sweetser et Kaid, 2008). Les blogues à caractère politique ont entre autres dénoncé le comportement de nombreux politiciens démocrates et républicains (Ashbee, 2003). Leurs charges ont éventuellement attiré l'attention des médias de masse américains qui ont vérifié et repris à leur tour les accusations des blogueurs (Johnson et Kaye, 2004 ;Drezner et Farrell, 2008 ;Sweetser et Kaid, 2008).…”

L’article présente les résultats du premier sondage mené auprès de participants de la blogosphère politique québécoise. Les données tirées de l’enquête permettent de tracer le profil sociopolitique des blogueurs politiques québécois, d’identifier leurs habitudes « bloguistiques », leurs visions de la démocratie et les motivations qui les guident dans leur activité de rédaction en ligne. Les conclusions indiquent que, d’un point de vue politique, les blogueurs québécois se démarquent de l’ensemble nord-américain mais également de la société québécoise en général. Ce double constat d’une blogosphère politique québécoise « distincte » s’explique en majeure partie par le statut minoritaire de la nation québécoise.

“…“The Note” was a well known “insider” media blog, visited regularly by other journalists and knowledgeable bloggers. As such the Halperin story was spotted by a number of bloggers and blog‐using journalists, including former American Prospect correspondent Joshua Micah Marshall, former New Republic editor Andrew Sullivan (Ashbee, 2003, p. 362), and Washington Post reporter Tom Edsall (Grann in Allan, 2006, p. 80).…”

Purpose:The purpose of this paper is to examine the rhetoric and reality of the impact of political blogs in the specific context of American politics, where online, mainstream media and academic accounts suggest blogs have had significant impacts on political communication. Findings:Re-evaluating these cases in the context of established theories of American politics suggests that the perception of blogs as a progressive new force, that can be decisive in a politician's success or failure, is an over-optimistic and over-simplified interpretation of the nature and consequences of this new form of political communication. Originality/Value:This paper provides a much needed first step in integrating the rhetoric of commentary on blogs in American politics with established political science, allowing for a more balanced and contextual consideration of the political roles of blogs than that provided by the blogosphere and its proponents to date.

“…Indeed, many of the early links to the story were to the Slate article rather than to the article on TalkingPointsMemo (see Baoill, 2004). In turn, Ashbee (2003) shows, in a detailed study of the scandal, that the mainstream news media's decision to pursue the story and Trent Lott's subsequent resignation as Senate Majority Leader may have had more to do with preexisting dissensus within the Republican Party about his leadership abilities than with the influence of weblog writers.…”
