    Under Everson’s direction, a few credentialed bloggers will cover the event from the RNC, giving a main-street media angle to traditional media coverage.

    Owners of affiliated internet radio shows will sponsor special guests in conjunction with the RNC. Interested parties from across the nation are encouraged to call into the radio shows to ask questions about happenings at the RNC, including whether or not the news articles appearing in their area are accurate

    Everson said the internet media event has a three-pronged purpose: 1) to hold traditional media sources accountable for the way they report the convention, 2) to validate internet resources like web logs as a serious form of media, and 3) to create a groundswell of conservative political ideas that will influence upcoming elections and policies.

    “We are unleashing conservative thought, voice and images with this online media.” Everson said.
