YouTube May Become Biggest Medium For Presidential Candidates

The last presidential election was all about weblogs. Who had them. Who wrote about the election. Which ones uncovered the scandals. This time, it’s going to be all about YouTube. An organization called YouPrez is urging anyone to upload a presidential speech to YouTube and tag it “youprez.” Of, course it’s just a big joke right now but it’s entirely conceivable that a presidential candidate would have just as much reach through YouTube as they might through television or any other medium. If a candidate is after an audience that is largely unreachable through traditional media, YouTube certainly offers a viable alternative.
