How to Track Politics on the Internet is a roadmap for any voter with a computer and a modem to follow the epic battle that begins in earnest in the fall of 1999. Bruce Maxwell, author of several acclaimed books on using the Internet to get the information readers need, has surveyed dozens of sites that citizens can turn to for information and opinion about the 2000 elections. He reports his findings in the first-ever volume on the newest way to follow and influence political issues.But How to Track Politics on the Internet is more than just an election year volume. The book will be valuable long after the new president and Congress are elected because Bruce Maxwell tracks and explains the array of sites available for issue information -- such as the economy, foreign affairs, civil rights, and many others -- that active and concerned citizens will turn to as they follow the work of the successful candidates.
Anyone who has tried to find political information on the Internet knows how the body of data and opinion available is overwhelming. Maxwell helps to focus that information and guide searches by showing readers exactly where to look for the most common kinds of specific political information.
