Washington Post: Parties to Allow Bloggers to Cover Conventions for First Time

Democrats are opening up their convention to bloggers - well, at least bloggers they like. Republicans say they will, but it seems it's taking them slightly longer to figure out if they like any. So far, 60 bloggers have applied for press passes to the Democratic festivities. The party said it will choose the lucky ones based on audience size, content professionalism and the proportion of original content on the blog.
