Send a Blogger to the G20 Summit
.gif)
We’ve teamed up with Oxfam GB, Save the Children, Comic Relief, and Blue State Digital for the G20Voice project. We’re inviting 50 bloggers to attend the G20 Summit on 2 April in London. These bloggers will have full media access, right along with the rest of the main stream media. On top of that, we’re lining up briefings and speakers so that they will have an unprecedented level of access and information.
Besides being a great moment for citizen journalism, it will also increase the amount of media coverage of development issues around the summit since 15 bloggers from the developing world and 10 bloggers will focused on poverty reduction.
Where we need your help is figuring out what bloggers should come. 20 of the spots are being held for bloggers nominated by the world community, so take a minute to nominate a blogger who you think would provide a unique and powerful angle on the G20.
