How Twitter Will Realize Obama’s Biparatisan Vision

By Maegan Carberry ⋅ June 29, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

How will bloggers and the White House Press Corp challenge the new administration? Is Obama following the Bush model of secrecy over transparency? Jay Rosen, professor of journalism at [...]

Tech Transparency in the White House

Arianna interviewed Eric Schmidt last night while she filled in for Rachel Maddow. They touched briefly on the soon-to-be-appointed CTO in the BO administration.
