Blogging at the DNC

2004 was an interesting year for bloggers since the DNC and the RNC invited accredited bloggers to write about the events at the conventions. It was a path breaking moment for citizen media. This election cycle, I applied for video/blogging accreditation for the Democratic National Convention in Denver. I created a blog using the logo and model from OhmyNews, the South Korean citizen journalist site, called OhmyDNC. The Technorati authority for the Hyperborean here is a measly 13, so I doubt that will convince the DNCC to accept my application. However, since Indymedia Presents is a public access television show which airs in places like Chicago, New York and Seattle, perhaps that will convince them to accept my request. I plan to be at the convention regardless and will report on what events and activities are available to me to report.
