This collection reflects the breadth of Political Science Professor G.R. Boynton's research career. At present he is focused on researching how new media trends such as micro-blogging and streaming video are transforming the way people exchange political information. The fleeting nature of digital communication has necessitated the capturing and archiving of various communication streams. Boynton’s growing collections of these communications include: • Twitter data streams about politics • Streaming campaign videos (http://digital.lib.uiowa.edu/pcv) Analysis of this data can be found in an occasional series: • New Media research reports Dr. Boynton is making available this source data in hopes that other scholars will further this work.
