The Denver 7 Used the Latest in Technology to Provide Unprecedented Coverage at the Democratic National Convention

We are pleased to celebrate the successful coverage provided by the Denver 7 during the Democratic National Convention this past week. To date, the Democratic Convention was the biggest and most watched event that any of these bloggers had ever covered. Though none of the bloggers have a professional journalism background nor an elaborate production team or news crew, their use of resources, ability to adapt to the hectic schedules, navigational nightmares, and personal set backs did not affect their reporting.

The Denver 7 relied on some of the latest in affordable and user-friendly resources to bring their readers a front row view of the convention. Below is a list of the resources they employed and how they used them.

The Denver 7's coverage was undoubtedly unique and historic in its own right. However, we'd like to hear from you. Leave a comment showing your support. Tell us which stories you liked the best, which blogger was your favorite and what you think of the Democratic Convention coverage as a whole.

Also be sure to continue to check back for updates and continue following these bloggers, as the presidential election coverage is only beginning. Be a part of history by supporting these bloggers and their mission of providing their stories on their terms.

TORONTO STAR: Bloggers Bring Black Issues To The Forefront!


By Shawn Williams of Dallas South Blog

Andrew Chung of the Toronto Star writes another article specifically about African-American bloggers at the DNC Convention. Here are some of the highlights of Andrew’s article:

Slightly flustered, L. N. Rock (fellow Denver 7 Blogger) and his colleague peer Adrianne George, both African-American bloggers, are rushing off to do an interview. As citizen observers and writers whose medium is the Internet, you’d expect they’d be interviewing some person of interest.

Instead, in fact, the British Broadcasting Corporation is interviewing them.
