Idea: Why doesn't DU "deputize" approved members as reporters so they can get......press credentials and thus obtain interviews and briefings? Especially exclusive interviews!
A member could apply for this responsibility, whether it be for a particular event or for long-term representation. When approved by admin, a credential could be sent digitally for download and printing by the reporter.
A big opportunity is being missed for one of the largest Democratic communities on the Internet.
Thoughts?
teh NADIN will not like this at all!

19. Well, because credentials quite do not work that way
the person would have to also be credentialed by the local issuing government agency. In theory those are for things like wild fires, and police actions. In practice you also need them when, for example, your state democratic convention rolls to town, or the TPP.
Also, I hate to point this out, but when people complain about places like Breitbart... yes I do know the local reporter for Breitbart who is not credentialed in the manner I just described, so she has issues getting into places where press is at, like oh... when Mayor Filner resigned, or when the lawyer for one of the people who sued the city went public, (she was checking city credentials), she cannot get into those... special briefings.
Sorry for the reality check, but unless DU is going to become an actual news outlet....
Right now doing what actual media does. We have had a fire start just north of the county border... and thank you lord this is being called contained. The google map gave me all kinds of willis, due to the dry veg... canyons are fun.

Oh, yeah! Please, please, please!
DU would become a stench in the nostrils of the D Party, and any R candidate with a quarter of a brain and the will/courage to use it would slice, dice and julienne the DU "reporter" so fast the DU member wouldn't figure out what happened for half a day!

The google map gave you willis? As in "what you talking about, Willis?" Or was it some other Willis?
I do agree that crayons are fun though.

They are crucial staples with which to toss her word salads.
What I want to know is has cousin nadin ever made a tossed word salad with dry veg. for her most beloved cousin...coach franksolich ?

Why not save time and ink by printing a journalism award at the same time, stock template certificates come with MS Word or you could splurge and buy one at Staples. :-)
