Abstract

Political parties are trying to attract a new electorate. They pay attention primarily to young people and other representatives of the network people who choose new media as sources of information. Therefore, parties have a need to provide informational influence through their political bloggers on the network. What forms and methods of network communication can arouse the interest of the network audience, hold its attention and form a sustainable attraction is the subject of this article.
