Washington Post launches WhoRunsGov.com: a guide to key players in Obama's administration
Posted by Helena Deards on January 22, 2009 at 4:43 PM
The Washington Post today launched the beta version of WhoRunsGov.com, a who's who of the US government and a 'unique look at the world of Washington'. The site contains profiles of officials such as Senator John McCain and First Lady Michelle Obama, which include their policy experience, key associations, past voting record and important positions.
The site also includes a blog of Washington news called The Plum Line, which focuses on the personal role of major players in policy making. Additional and more interactive content will be added to the site later on in development, following user generated suggestions. The Washington Post seems keen to continue to capitalise on the interest surrounding Barack Obama's new government - and with hopes that this site will become the ultimate in information on the new government, this seems a good way to go about it.
