This week we thought we'd dig back into the Office Hours archives a bit and revisit an interview [1] we did with Theda Skocpol [2] from 2009 on media, the Internet, and civic participation in the 2008 election. A few years later, we'reright in the middle of another election cycle and questions about the impact of traditional media and online social media are as pertinent as ever, so we thought it'd be a good time to think back to a time when a younger Barack Obama was striding into office with the promise of a new post-partisan era of American political engagement... If you're interested in what Skocpol has been up to in the time since this interview, check out her new book, The Tea Party and the Remaking of Republican Conservatism [3].
