CNN reports that Bloggers aretrying to gain the same access to the national political party conventions as journalists. I am torn on the issue, because I am a blogger and was a journalist, but believe that I must side with the conventions on this issue. Journalists are given space and access at these conventions to be the eyes and ears of the public, their mass audience. Most bloggers do not have the same mass audience as network television, cable news or even your local newspaper. That’s just the way the game is played. Blogs are narrowcasting to their niche, while the mass media broadcast to the public.
