The New York Times ran a piece this morning about the growing number of people who go to the Internet for election news. (There's no byline on the story, but I wrote it.) The survey by the Pew Research Center and the Pew Internet Project shows that the proportion of people using the Internet for election news is growing quite a bit, up to 13 percent in 2002 from 6 percent who had done so in the last midterm election in 1998. Some interesting details deep in the report show that those early adopters, the white, male, wealthy, well- educated group, are really digging for candidates' issue positions and voting records. It's a small number now, but the big question is, will more Internet users join that group as they build more experience online? Also, the general population is going to candidate Web sites and issue sites in growing numbers, but the proportion of users who actually donate money online is small, at 5 percent.
