Gourt Home::Gourt :: Matt Stoller
Matthew N. Stoller (born February 1978) is an American blogger and media producer best known for his activities during the campaign for the 2004 U.S. presidential election. He is currently one of the most frequent contributors to the liberal political blog MyDD.
Stoller was one of the co-creators of The Blogging of the President, which explored the ongoing digital transformation of politics first in weblog format and later as a nationally syndicated talk radio show from Minnesota Public Radio. This represented one of the first attempts to bring the conversation in the blogosphere directly into the broadcast media.
The 2004 Democratic National Convention took the historic step of giving selected bloggers access with journalist credentials. Stoller worked as a volunteer for the Convention, and he ended up in charge of credentialling the bloggers. He co-created the Convention blog, the BostonDParty before being removed from posting due to conflicts of interest during the convention. Stoller attended the convention as a credentialled blogger. He has testified before the Federal Election Commission on the role of electronic media in politics, and is the co-author with Chris Bowers of a report on electronic communities in politics.*
Stoller worked on the Draft Clark movement to bring Wesley Clark into the nominating race for President of the United States. Stoller also created the satire site EnjoyTheDraft.com.
Stoller worked on Simon Rosenberg's campaign for DNC chair. Rosenberg would cite his work in creating the New Politics Institute. He created the site thereisnocrisis.com. He holds a Bachelor of Arts from Harvard University and worked as a project manager for ICLUBcentral for three years.
In 2005, Stoller blogged for New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Jon Corzine's official blog, dubbed the Corzine Connection.
