websites, political parties, functionalityAbstract
The internet from the years 1990 becomes accessible to the majority of political parties in the world. In this sense, this tool brings a number of advantages through its hyperlinks, how to increase the amount of information flows, as well as to cultivate participation. To this end, we apply the methodology proposed by Barnett et al (2009) and Iasulaitis (2007), to measure and compare the functionality of partisan websites. The results indicate that: 1) most parties of Paraná has no website; 2) all websites analyzed have low functionality; and 3) privileged parties plus the site as an information tool and less as a communication channel.
