Experiential Learning In Washington, D.C.: A Study Of Student Motivations And Expectations, Richard Holtzman

Communications Technology In The 2008 Election And Beyond: An Analysis Of Obama Emails, Richard Holtzman, Janet Prichard 2011 Bryant University

Communications Technology In The 2008 Election And Beyond: An Analysis Of Obama Emails, Richard Holtzman, Janet Prichard

History and Social Sciences Faculty Journal Articles

No political candidate has adopted and employed communications technology to connect with potential voters more effectively than Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential race. Yet, scholarly literature has neglected systematic studies of perhaps the most significant piece of Obama’s communications revolution: the use of millions of targeted emails. No in-depth analyses of these emails have been undertaken. Our research aims to fill this important gap by systematically examining the targeted emails themselves in an effort to understand this phenomenon and its larger significance. We do so by charting their frequency and identifying distribution trends, as well as exploring their content.
