Clinton Global Initiative 2010: Life in the Press Room and More Coverage Amanda Reed, 22 Sep 10
This week I'm blogging from the Clinton Global Initiative 2010 Annual Meeting. I hope to post at least one daily recap a day. Here is a short post of life behind the scenes in the Press Room. For links to all my CGI coverage click here.
In addition to hearing from and being around so many world leaders and activists, it's been a fun learning experience for me to simply attend this kind of big official meeting as "press" - it's my first time sitting in a 'press room' with a bunch of other bloggers and journalists!
As I'm sure you can imagine, security is tight; laptops and bags are checked at entry, and we've all got to pass through a metal detector. Additionally, if we want to walk anywhere in the venue we must have a CGI staff "escort"; it's all very labor intensive and I appreciate the work the staff and volunteers are doing to herd us around.
I've met some great folks in the press room and put some faces to names, and thought I'd share a few links to other blogs that are covering the CGI meetings, in case you're interested in further commentary on the events: Brian Mitchell at Treehugger is blogging daily about the environmental news and commitments coming out of CGI. Yesterday he covered President Clinton's remarks about the links between climate change and natural disasters, the potential of landfills, and Secretary Clinton's new global alliance for clean cook stoves.
Brad Johnson at Think Progress was also at the blogger meeting with President Clinton on Monday night and has a good summary of the ideas Clinton shared with us for promoting a clean energy future in the United States up on his blog at The Wonk Room.
Our friends at Tonic are liveblogging daily.
The new foreign policy focused media outlet HUM News is blogging about the sessions and interviewing members.
Twitter users can follow the commentary by searching for the hash tag #cgi2010.
Facebook users can "like" President Clinton to receive announcements on CGI commitments and main stream media appearances.
