Airwaves & Liberty

The Democratic National Convention starts on Monday, and with it, Pacifica is launching Election411.org.

The site will feature up-to-the-minute blogs from people on the ground in Denver and St. Paul, highlights from Pacifica’s convention radio broadcasts, comments and discussion from site visitors, a trove of archival audio from the Pacifica Radio Archives, and audio, text, and pics submitted by all sorts of people around the conventions.

After the conventions wrap up, the site will continue – all the way to November. We’d like this to be a network-wide Pacifica foray into building an online media presence around the elections.

We’re involving producers and contributors from around the Pacifica network, and are looking for reports, interviews, vox pops, commentaries, or graphics that highlight, illuminate, analyze, or critique these conventions and election season happenings. If you’re interested in participating, send me an email at nathan[at]pacifica.org.

Check out the site, and don’t forget to tune in to Pacifica’s convention coverage each evening, Monday-Thursday the next two weeks.
