WhiteHouse.gov in The Washington Post
In The Washington Post today, Jose Antonio Vargas (a writer who I highly respect) writes an excellent article about WhiteHouse.gov and the challenges faced by President Obama’s new media team.
In the article, New Media Director Macon Phillips delineates between WhiteHouse.gov, change.gov and BarackObama.com.
“WhiteHouse.gov,” Phillips said, “is not like BarackObama.com or Change.gov. We’re not running a campaign anymore. To us here, WhiteHouse.gov is not just a Web site. The new programs that we will roll out are more than just URLs. They are new ways to engage with citizens. Stay tuned.”
Who else is quoted in the article? Ellen Miller (@EllnMllr) of the Sunlight Foundation, who has read Social Government!
Disclosure: I currently intern for a division of The Washington Post Company.
