The Democratic National Convention begins today in Denver, and unless you’re a delegate you won’t be able to attend. But that’s no reason to miss the action as there is an abundance of ways to watch the coverage online.
The majority of us won’t be in attendance to see Barack Obama and newly announced running mate Joseph Biden set the stage for their run at the White House, but thanks to the power of Web TV, that no longer matters.
Watch The Democratic Convention Online
Last week, NewTeeVee compiled a list of the places to watch the Democratic National Convention on the Internet, and here they are for your perusal.
The Democrats, who seem to be embracing new technologies and the power of the Web much more than the Republicans, are airing the whole Convention at DemConvention.com. And even better, it’s all in glorious high definition.
Less Biased Options
If you’d rather have a less biased look at the action, then the big networks are also getting involved, although how unbiased they really are remains a matter of opinion.
ABCNews.com will be providing live streaming of the Convention, as well as offering up interview with delegates and analysts, and behind the scenes footage.
MSNBC.com will also be offering live streaming, while The Washington Post and Newsweek will be partnering for live coverage at certain times of the day.
Lifecasting Services
UStream are offering live streaming coverage of The Big Tent. This is where journalists and bloggers will be gathering during the Convention, so you can be sure of some explosive interviews and takes on the Democrats politics.
The Huffington Post and public radio station KCRW are each going to be using mobile lifecasting service Kyte to provide liver updates as the Convention progresses.
If you’re a Democrat, or at least interested in what Obama and Biden have to say, then this year sees Web video providing all of the coverage you need. And if you’re a Republican, then you’ll have to wait until their Convention begins in September.
