Let's face it, the blogosphere is the 'new media' when it comes to news and commentary. Newspapers are facing dire circumstances as circulation drops precipitously. Network TV news is a dying phenomenon.
More and more Americans are getting their news from the Internet, and that includes those of us who blog.
Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs is a member of the new media that was given almost unprecedented access to the movers and shakers in politics at the Republican National Convention.
As an official blogger for the RNC, Pamela gave us a daily rundown of the latest activities, including behind-the-scenes factors that never get reported in mainstream outlets.
In this pictorial display, Geller presents a panoramic view of the Convention and its personalities, including Jon Voight, one of the few Hollywood stars that has taken a front-lines activist role in the GOP, as well as Peggy Noonan, Reagan speech writer, and the Republican Jewish Coalition, among others.
My friends, this kind of access given to bloggers is a very positive sign of the shift taking place in the nature of news coverage. This is good news for America and good news for bloggers.
