So the White House is taking a sensible multi-pronged approach to reaching Ghanaians. The blend includes SMS -- for both sending messages to the President and getting speech highlights -- and radio -- of both Obama's remarks and his responses to mobile messages, fleshed out with Twitter, Facebook, and live video streaming components.

Face au huis clos, des députés résistent. Alors que le débat en commissions sur le projet de loi réformant les retraites, débuté mardi, se tient à l'écart de la presse, des parlementaires du Parti socialiste ont décidé de briser le silence. Jean-Marc Ayrault, président du groupe socialiste à l'assemblée, utilise le site de micro-blogging Twitter pour donner des extraits des débats. "Commission des finances sur les retraites, ambiance électrique. Même les députés de droite s'étonnent de l'absence de documents", a écrit ainsi le maire de Nantes vers 11 heures mardi matin, depuis la commission.

Mais Gaëtan Gorce a été -gentiment- rappelé à l'ordre par un membre de l'UMP. Depuis Twitter, Lionel Tardy, représentant de Haute-Savoie, a souhaité la bienvenue à son homologue bourguignon: "Mon collègue député @GGorce twitte depuis une commission ... Un carton rouge et une suspension pour la prochaine commission?". Le message est ironique puisque Lionel Tardy s'était fait connaître en commentant en direct l'audition de Raymond Domenech par une commission de l'Assemblée… Des "live-twits" qui avaient obligé le président de la chambre, Bernard Accoyer, à soumettre le cas des députés qui utilisent Twitter au bureau de l'Assemblée.

une conférence de presse quotidienne. Les parlementaires du PS y donnent des détails sur ce qui transpire des débats. Et la député PS de Paris, Sandrine Mazetier se charge de charge de retranscrire la conférence sur… Twitter. La boucle est bouclée.

chez RSLNmag.fr, on a l’impression que cette campagne des régionales 2010 marque également une évolution nette sur les sites classiques des partis, hors des dispositifs communautaires. On s’explique : c’est la première fois, nous semble-t-il, que l’on parle autant de contenus, au point que certains sites basculent du champ purement institutionnel, vers un modèle plus proche des sites d’actu ou de commentaire de l’actu.
-
« Nous gérons deux types de contenus différents : des contenus fixes, comme les pages « Adhérez », « Contactez-nous », etc, et des contenus d’actualité », explique Emile Josselin
-
Cette ressemblance avec les sites d’infos va encore un peu plus loin : elle se retrouve également dans les formats éditoriaux adoptés pour traiter l’actu chaude. « Jusqu’à présent, le site servait surtout à mettre en ligne des communiqués de presse. C’est indispensable, mais pas suffisant », poursuit Emile Josselin. La palette dans laquelle l’équipe pioche s’est nettement élargie : chats, déplacements de candidats suivis en live, ou carte : tous ces éléments sont ceux utilisés par les médias en ligne.
