The disruption in political communication inaugurated by Obama under the figure of e-president. Precedents and impact from Roosevelt to Biden
Abstract
The aim of this article is to establish the basis of Obama's mandate as the first e-president in history, a concept that in itself implies a high degree of novelty. To do so, we first describe the political communication of the American administrations of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century until 2008. A theoretical framework directly related to political communication and the concepts of e-democracy, information and communication technologies, cyberdemocracy, e-administration, etc. is provided. It then establishes and analyzes the disruptive elements of Obama's mandate as an agent of change from before his presidential term, as a candidate, during his term, and then as an ex-president since his Foundation. This is an article based on consultation of books, journals, academic articles and currently available presidential websites. The results establish a leadership principle that far surpasses social networks.
