ABSTRACT
New media is a term used to encompass the emergence of digital, computerized
or networked information and communication in the later part of the 20th century.
The success of Barack Obama’s campaign, which used new media in the most
effective way, proved that this is a method of communication with voters, and
gaining their support can no longer be ignored. The use of new media enables
mutual communication between voters and politics, gives the possibility of
fundraising and gaining volunteers for campaigns. Politics begun to use new media
technologies for everyday communication with the electorate and its impact is
going to grow constantly.
