Democratic National Convention (DNC) grants media access to social media influencers for the first time in Chicago.

The Democratic National Convention (DNC) plans to grant media access to social media influencers for the first time, during the upcoming convention in Chicago. This move aims to engage younger audiences and expand reach through online content creators, who will have the same access to surrogates and VIPs as traditional media outlets. The DNCC will provide logistical support and creative freedom to credentialed influencers, as part of efforts to bridge the gap between content creation and conventional journalism.
