Politics Central: This is Media Central

This is Media Central

“Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?” -or- “Who watches the watchmen?”

The reality of elections in the 21st century is that our media form the hub around which the wheel of our political lives revolves. While it may be possible to run for office without involving the media, it is almost impossible to win one.

Whether it is the “legacy” media of newspapers, magazines, and network television, or the new media of cable news, talk radio, the web, podcasts and the blogs, media is a major player in our politics. At Media Central we intend to gather a host of keen observers and commenters to keep their eyes on the way in which the media shapes and influences the key races of 2006.

MEDIA CENTRAL will be one of the watchmen of the watchmen. We hope you will enjoy watching and participating with us.
