If you're covering the RNC, we've got local voices, fresh faces and solid research to round out your coverage and provide substance instead of spin (not to mention tasty, locally-made treats).

Alliance for a Better Minnesota, along with a coalition of independent media groups including The UpTake are hosting policy events and a green room for the media (including bloggers) during the Republican National Convention. We also have a "Truth Team" of local "experts" available during the week to provide commentary, personal stories and other content needed.

We have two truly unique spaces: Golden's Deli is a 10-minute walk in downtown Saint Paul where we're hosting a series of different expert panel discussions with various groups including Common Cause, Iraqi Veterans Against the War, Clean Water Action, Campaign for America's Future and many others. Our other space, the Green Room, is only 300 yards from the convention center. The Green Room is the closest space to the convention floor with internet access that does not require a security clearance.

Both spaces will be open to radio reporters, video producers, online news editors and reporters, alternative news media, freelance writers, editors and photographers from across the country. Both provide access to technology (WiFi, etc.), refreshments, monitors to watch the convention coverage and will be fully staffed by volunteers to help troubleshoot any problems.
