Blogging the Vote at Berkman
This Monday evening, Berkman played host to an informal gathering of local bloggers writing on the 2006 Massachusetts gubernatorial election. The lively event drew bloggers from across the political spectrum - from the BlueMassGroup to HubPolitics to the tongue-in-cheek DemsForHealey.
Berkman fellow David Weinberger marveled in his blog post about the event, "As we went around the room, I got chills realizing how far we've come. Capturing remarkable moments, tracking scandals — every issue has her blogger — monitoring the media, rallying supporters, mashing up financial info...we're doing it all. We take it for granted. But it's changed how the world works. And we're only at the beginning."
Join Berkman for more mixing of blogs and politics at this week's Thursday blog discussion group. We'll also be running a live bloggers' "press room" at Berkman on Election Day - contact us to get involved!
