Blog Campaigning: 2.3 Limitations

June 4th, 2007 | Author: Espen

2.3 Limitations

As the study is not quantitative but bases its conclusion on qualitative data, it does not claim any further generalisation value. The data discussed in the paper aims only to test existing findings on the subject and explore new ideas for how we can develop ways to measure how electioneering via blogs impacts voting behaviour. The sum of the opinions presented by authoritative bloggers and online communication experts is not the final answer to the research problems; rather these opinions illuminate the issue from a new perspective. What the study does present of value is a better understanding of the aspects that makes the blog a useful electioneering tool and the measuring methods we need to develop in order to identify how campaigning via blogs affects voting behaviour.

What’s the deal with this website?

You're reading BlogCampaigning. We write about public relations, social media, video games, marketing and pretty much whatever we feel is important. We've been around since August, 2006

Jens "Schredd" Schroeder has been around since the beginning, and he mostly writes about video games.

Heather Morrison is our newest recruit, and she also blogs about life in the big city at Toronto Uncovered.

All of the content on this site is cleaned up by Adam Gorley, our resident copy-editor. He does a hell of a job, and he also writes a few posts for us now and then. Not a lot of people know this, but he is also a soul music DJ who goes by the name "Night Danger."

Parker Mason is the self-described Editor-in-Chief of BlogCampaigning and runs the site with an iron fist. He's also a pretty great guy - you should meet him sometime.

Espen Skoland started this website a few years ago so that he could get extra marks for his thesis, but he's pretty much given up on contributing. Still, we often refer to him as The Legendary Founder. He might be lazy, but he left us with a legacy.
