Meet the Bloggers: Coverage of Ch 3's Debate

The WKYC Information Center's Social Media Group hosted "Meet the Bloggers" in the WKYC newsroom last night during the Debate.

You can see their work at http://www.meetthebloggers.net.

Meet the Bloggers (MTB) is one of the most influential political voices for Northeast Ohio in the blogosphere. The group interviews political and community influentials, streams podcasts and blogs prolifically. MTB has interviewed dozens of influentials, ranging from Brad Whitehead of the Cleveland Foundation and The Fund for our Economic Future to Cleveland Councilman and congressional candidate Joe Cimperman.

They covered the debate, wrote about WKYC's strategy in debate coverage, met Dave Lougee who is the President of Gannett Broadcasting and interviewed News Director Rita Andolsen and Producer Jon Adkins.
