# Campaign Wiki By Jacqueline Biggs | Published 2006-07-07 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campaign-wiki References: [campaigns.wikia](http://campaigns.wikia.com/wiki/Mission_Statement) Could this be the start of the era of net-driven participatory politics? Is new media capable of inventing a new era of politics? [Wikipedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiral-social) founder Jimmy "Jimbo" Wales seems to think so, as he's just announced the opening of a wiki devoted to hot-button political topics such as gay marriage and environmental protection. The aim of the site is to be a central meeting ground for people on all sides of the political spectrum who think that it is time for politics to become more participatory, and more intelligent. “Together, we will start to work on educating and engaging the political campaigns about how to stop being broadcast politicians, and how to start being community and [participatory politicians](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/election-tool).” But will this non partisan effort really make politics smarter and able to engage people on a personal level? Will politicians hear? Or respond? That it seems:.is very much up to YOU. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Political](https://www.trendhunter.com/political) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Net-driven Participatory Politics:** The rise of online platforms like the campaign wiki opens up opportunities for individuals to actively participate in politics and shape political discussions. - **New Media Politics:** The campaign wiki represents a new era of politics where digital platforms enable wider involvement and engagement in political processes. - **Intelligent Political Discussions:** The campaign wiki aims to promote more intelligent political conversations by bringing together diverse perspectives and encouraging informed discourse. ### Where This Applies - **Political Campaign Technology:** Political campaigns can leverage the campaign wiki as a tool to connect with voters, gather insights, and shape their messaging strategies based on participatory politics. - **Digital Media and Publishing:** The rise of new media platforms like the campaign wiki creates opportunities for digital media companies to provide innovative solutions for information dissemination and engagement in politics. - **Civic Engagement and Advocacy:** The campaign wiki can serve as a catalyst for increased civic engagement, empowering individuals and advocacy groups to have a voice in political discussions and policies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tech-Enhanced Hybris Political Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pedro-markun.md) - [Engaging Political Update Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/govside-app.md) - [Social Engagement Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thoughtful-engagement.md) - [Democratic Party Playlists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jamocracy.md) - [Nuanced Discussion Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/society-speaks.md) - [Informative Election Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roblox-3.md) - [Blockchain Affiliation Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mint-a-vote.md) - [Digital Opinion Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunnypeaceislandcom.md) - [Friendship-Focused Election Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-friendship-bus.md)
