Hi –
We’re not a STUDENTS project as such – but I’m working on building an aggregated web presence for the Democratic Convention that will contain content from different credentialed bloggers at the convention.
It might be interesting to include your students, or other people who are going to be covering the convention. Let me know if you’re interested, and I hope we can work something out.
As it is, the site is barely in the Alpha stage at this point, but it’s getting better by the day.
Sort of– The Field – – formerly with Rural Votes – has all kinds of people self-organizing to cover the convention.
The independent organizing is going on largely at http://fieldhands.ning.com/
(Disclosure: I volunteer for the Fund for Authentic Journalism which supports the organization currently hosting The Field.)
Hi,
I’m taking three student journalists to the Democratic National Convention. They have press access because of help from New America Media (http://news.newamericamedia.org/news/). Hunter College is helping with some of the costs and I have a few bucks from the FORD Foundation (a grant to experiment with developing multimedia journalism curriculum for undergraduates) to also help offset the costs.
