More and more candidates are rising out of journalism, public relations and entertainment into politics.

Peter Bergen : The media swing into politics has also been happening in Canada , at both the highest and local levels.

He says it suggests that journalists and media personalities can have a distinct advantage when they get onto an election ballot: Name recognition.

Bergen says many journalists have the advantage of entering the political game with a ready-made public profile.

There might be some painful truth to the observation that for many elected officials today , including those who have transitioned out of journalism or public relations, politics is the best gig they’ve ever had.

Peter Ladner , founder of Business in Vancouver newspaper, agrees many journalists, as he did, enter politics with a pre-existing public profile.
