2008DNC

A couple of days ago I mentioned that I was interviewed by Amanda Millner-Fairbanks of the New York Times for a feature. She told me that it was likely to run Sunday, but it actually published today on its web site.  It will be in the print edition tomorrow (on page ST1 of the New York edition).

The article, "The Year of the Political Blogger Has Arrived," is about bloggers and the 2008 Democratic National Convention, focusing on some of the logistical and financial hurdles faced by bloggers to cover the event. She also spoke with the DNCC about the challenges of including new media/citizen journalists as members of the credentialed media.

Other bloggers are interviewed, including Phillip Anderson from The Albany Project and John Odum of Green Mountain Daily.

A snippet is below the fold.
