Today the BlogHer Network accepted our first paid advertising from a 2008 presidential campaign. At the time of this post, BlogHer.com and about a dozen sites in our publishing network are running an advertisement purchased by Obama for America in support of Democratic presidential nominee and Senator Barack Obama.
I'd like to share two thoughts on this occasion:
First, congratulations everyone. Paid advertising by a presidential campaign is further validation of your influence as bloggers and as voters. Since January of 2007, we've seen an incredible amount of buzz on BlogHer.com and across the BlogHer Network about the 2008 presidential election -- especially the economy, Iraq, health care and the environment. While women certainly don't all vote alike, we are the majority of voters. Thanks for helping us show that women really do blog deeply on everything under the sun, from politics to parenting, from foreign policy to food, from technology to shoes, and everything in between. Bravo.
Second, BlogHer is a non-partisan organization precisely because our members are omnipartisan. As such, we are happy to air ads from political parties, campaigns and candidates that meet our advertising guidelines. More about advertising on BlogHer.
Comments are open. I'd love to know what you think of this decision and BlogHer's policies.
