00:00I think going to the DNC is just a natural extension of the political
00:09coverage that essence has been doing from the beginning. We're going to the
00:13convention because this year of course is one of the most exciting years for
00:18African-Americans since Senator Obama is now the Democratic nominee. You're covering
00:24politics right now in the media. This is a year to go and it's just going to be
00:28I think it's going to be a lot of excitement. We just don't know what's
00:31going to happen. We're looking at stories that really have an impact within the
00:35African-American community. A viewpoint into a lot of these inside parties, inside
00:40events, talking to people that they normally would not really get an
00:44African-American perspective on. Many of our readers say they're very interested
00:47in issues relating to education and AIDS and they're going to have all kind of
00:51conferences on that so we plan to be there and to ask those questions and
00:55bring this all back to the reader. See our new website for the election. We're
01:01going to have coverage from the DNC so I just encourage readers to come to
01:06Essence.com, click on the website and get as much election coverage as they're
01:10willing to take.
