That’s the promise of so-called ‘Campaign Embeds’ From National Journal, NBC:
dedicated video-journalists, each of whom will serve as their own mobile campaign bureaus (reporter, producer, cameraperson and blogger), armed with the latest technology for both video and text. The “Decision 2008” campaign reporters will also provide viewers and readers with behind-the-scenes coverage and unprecedented insider access to news and information about the candidates and their top advisors.
Just how inside the access really will be remains to be seen. Let’s hope it’s not more of the same stuff we usually get.
