互联网为政治候选人提供了一种新的竞选方式。互联网的新颖性部分来自于大多数其他媒体所不具备的技术选择。然而,候选人必须权衡使用特定技术创新的各种收益和成本。例如,允许增加用户之间互动的技术可能会带来一个更刺激的网站,但它也有可能分散用户对活动中心信息的注意力。在本文中,我们使用两次选举期间 444 个国会竞选网站的数据来研究候选人如何使用 Web 技术。我们还调查了导致候选人利用或避免特定技术特征的因素。我们表明,技术采用是由实际和战略政治考虑决定的。特别有趣的是,候选人种族的竞争力导致候选人使用更复杂的演示技术,但不太先进的互动创新,因为后者的选项会干扰候选人的信息。
The Internet offers political candidates a new way to campaign. Part of the Internet’s novelty comes from technological options not available in most other media. Candidates, however, must weigh various benefits and costs in using a given technological innovation. For example, technology that allows for increased interactivity between users may lead to a more stimulating website but it also has the potential to distract users from the campaign’s central message. In this paper, we use data from 444 congressional campaign websites, over two elections, to examine how candidates approach Web technology. We also investigate the factors that lead candidates to either utilize or avoid particular technological features. We show that technological adoption is determined by both practical and strategic political considerations. Of particular interest is that the competitiveness of a candidate’s race leads the candidate to use more sophisticated presentation technologies but less advanced interactive innovations, since these latter options interfere with the candidate’s message.
