St. Paul Scoop: Convention Web Site Launches

August 29, 2008

The Republican National Convention officially unveiled its spiffy new Web site for convention week on Friday, which includes several features aimed at giving journalists and other Internet users unprecedented access to convention news and information. The site includes a media portal (http://portal.gopconvention2008.com), where daily and hourly schedules, press releases, media advisories, speech text, speaker bios, pictures, video and RSS feeds will be posted.

The convention site will also feature six live streaming video channels that will provide footage from within the Xcel Energy Center, including the backstage area and Radio Row, officials said in a press release. In addition, the site will feature state pages where people can connect with other GOPers from their state; links to social networking sites; and the Grand Ol’ Blog, the official convention blog.
