Blogging is good for democracy

According to the latest report from the Pew Internet and American Life Project, Americans are now using the internet as a primary source for political information and news. According to the BBC, many people contribute to political debate by blogging.

The BBC reports that the increase in the number of households having broadband is one of the reasons Americans are embracing political debate, online. Perhaps, in the UK, with the speed of broadband set to increase and the cost expected to decrease, greater online activity will contribute to a healthy democracy.
