"The Forum," an interactive part of CNN's online Election Center, is exciting to both the politically-proud and the politically uneducated. A venue for viewers of all voting types (targeting those who label themselves first time voters, political junkies, conservatives, independents and/or liberals), visitors to the site can find where they stand on issues compared to other site participants and share (or simply read) political opinions and/or concerns on several comments pages. Visitors can join "leagues" of voters and share their comments more specifically with people who have similar political ideas.
The purpose of the site is to, through interactivity and visitor participation, encourage dialogue among voters in the upcoming presidential election. This could not be done at the same degree by a print publication, radio or television broadcast because such media could not handle the same amount of traffic; a virtual dialogue can support the involvement of MANY more participants than a newspaper article, radio or television panel.
