Blogging at the Virginia inauguration
By JR Hoeft | Monday, January 18th, 2010 | Catch-All
Loved the accommodations on inauguration day! Of course, it was better than being jammed into the limited space they had available on the media risers. Print media had a place to file stories in the Patrick Henry building – but that was too far for any live posting. (Which, if you recall, was an epic fail anyway – I should have used Cover-it Live instead of BlogTalkRadio.)
The TV guys got to the risers early and put pieces of 8.5×11 paper down saying “Reserved For”…so there was no room for anyone else. Hopefully, next time, a little more thought will go into making sure bloggers and print media have an opportunity to work at the actual site.
Of course, I am just happy I was credentialed.
