 How new media affected the Clinton campaign
By: Joe GarofoliThe rise and fall of Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign can be traced through video - from her first announcement to the apparent suspension of the campaign. Some of the video was scripted fare, much of it wasn't. Some of it aired on network TV, much of it spread virally online.And each of the videos was viewed enough to dominate the news for at least a day. Collectively, they helped shape the narrative of her campaign.

By: Joe GarofoliThe rise and fall of Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign can be traced through video - from her first announcement to the apparent suspension of the campaign.

Jeremiah Wright, to the off-script comments of Bill Clinton.
