Blogging At Political Conventions

According to a report by Anick Jesdanun for the AP, bloggers can be expected all around the Democratic and Republican National Conventions and some will even be given media credentials. The article mentions a few people we all are familiar with so take a look. Most interesting to me was the following:

More than 50 bloggers met last Tuesday's deadline to apply for the Democratic National Convention credentials, of which an undetermined number will be selected based on originality, readership level and professionalism, said convention spokeswoman Lina Garcia.

Leave it to the Democratic Party to place more stringent requirements on bloggers than they do on the elite media.
