Meet the Bloggers
It is so cool to see the Democratic National Convention unfolding with bloggers being in the mix for the first time ever! This article, Meet the Bloggers, from the Wall Street Journal, includes answers to e-mailed questionnaires to about 30 bloggers who are accredited for the convention. They were asked to describe their blogs, give details on how they planned to cover the convention and what kind of content readers can expect. They also asked them why people should read their coverage and what they saw as the biggest gap in convention coverage by mainstream media in prior election years. In addition they were asked what moment/speaker/event they were most looking forward to covering and whom they supported in the Democratic primary. Pictures of bloggers and links to their weblogs are also given.
Of course, Dave Winer’s Convention Blogger is the one I will be following the most. Bryan Bell did an incredible design for the site.
The story is going to unfold in a much more dynamic and interesting way this year. Ah, the power of weblogs! Many voices will be heard! I love it!
Now, it’s just too bad that we don’t have someone like Will in that mix. He sure would have my vote!
