There can be no doubt that the internet has unleashed profound opportunities for mass communication. Politicians who really wish to have an impact on the electorate are increasingly harnessing contemporary digital technologies to reach out to their electorates and disseminate their political visions. To learn that not a single Malawian political party has a web site, and that not one single politician maintains a blog site, is saddening to say the least. The rest of the world is embracing digital technologies for advancement. Will Malawian politicians continue to ignore this vital tool for progress? Don Luka Melbourne.
