In his New York Times column this weekend, Frank Rich quoted Andrew Rasiej, founder of the Personal Democracy Forum. Rasiej was explaining how television networks measure their success while covering the national party conventions; When they point to the biggest share of the television audience, he says “they are still counting horses while the world has moved on to counting locomotives.”

The internet is the steam engine that is eroding the audience of television, print, and radio, and it’s changing the way voters find information. New Hampshire Public Radio’s director of new media, Brady Carlson, keeps a close watch on these trends and joins us on Word of Mouth for a look at some of the web-based tools that are changing the political arena.

Here are links to some of the tools and websites Brady discussed on the show:
