Grassroots Election Coverage - Huffington Post Asks Citizens Journalists to Report
[Edit]
[Edit]
HuffingtonPost.com, the world’s largest political/cultural blog is reaching down to the grassroots level to cover the upcoming U.S. presidential election. Off-the-Bus has asked for citizen journalists to sign up and contribute to the blog.
The first assignment is to cover Senator Obama’s “Listening to America” series of meetings. Each volunteer journalist is given specific instructions on how to proceed, what to ask and how to conduct themselves as citizen journalists. A document is to be downloaded and completed and used as the basis for the coverage.
Senator Barack Obama's campaign announced "Listening to America," a new campaign to illicit supporters' input for the Democratic Platform. Each party announces a platform of policy proposals at its convention prior to the general election, and this year the Obama campaign claims they'll it will do it differently. Starting July 19 through July 27 Obama supporters will meet and discuss the issues they want represented and send those suggestions on to the Platform Committee.
