Bill Moyers Journal looks at how new media - the Web, YouTube, social networking - have changed the face, pace and language of the election.

    New media are changing the face, pace, and language of the election - what does it mean? Bill Moyers gets perspective on the impact of the Web - blogs, YouTube and social networking - on the election with Kathleen Hall Jamieson, director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center. And with pastor and denominational leader Mike Huckabee surging in the polls and Mitt Romney giving a widely anticipated speech on his Mormon faith, Moyers and Jamieson are joined by scholar Melissa Rogers for a discussion of religion in politics. Rogers is visiting professor of religion and public policy at Wake Forest University Divinity School.
