Bloggers Track the Nuances of the Health Care Debate


Both bloggers and users of Twitter closely followed the ebb and flow of the Senate's debate over health care reform last month, commenting on each step of the way. From December 21-25, fully 44% of the news links in blogs were about health care, according to the New Media Index from the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism. This attention far surpassed the previous high of 23% the week of August 10-14. And while a hot topic all year for social media, this was just the third time that it ranked as the number one subject.
