As part of my association with the Open House Project, I’ve written an op-ed for The Hill calling for the creation of a congressional press gallery for bloggers. I’d call it the Online Media Gallery, and it would be responsible for setting the rules and overseeing the credentialing process for citizen journalists who cover Congress. My op-ed is part of a series in The Hill that will examine all the aspects of the Open House Project.
UPDATE — May 1, 4:18 p.m.: I’m beginning to get some positive feedback about this idea from my friends on the left and right. Matt Stoller weighs in at MyDD and former congressional staffer David All and Washington Examiner editorial page editor Mark Tapscott offer thier thoughts.
UPDATE — 10:07 p.m.: Marshall Manson says he’s on board with the idea. Check out his post at On Tap.
