New Media and 2008 Conventions

Patrick Ottenhoff talks about bloggers during the 2008 conventions. CSPAN had a special page for bloggers at the conventions to post news, updates, and other reports from the conventions. CSPAN also has a special page for Twitter and Quick where people from the convention can record videos and then post them online. This is really great because it makes people feel more involved in political events. Even if an individual is not able to attend a function such as the convention, they can feel like they are part of it by looking at the pictures and different blog updates.
