SAN ANTONIO (BP)–Baptist Press will launch a news blog during the Southern
Baptist Convention annual meeting, allowing readers to stay updated on events
throughout the two-day event in a timely manner.
Labeled “Instant News,”
the blog — at www.bpnews.net/blog — will provide updates within seconds or
minutes of key events from the convention floor Tuesday and Wednesday in San
Antonio. The blog will allow readers to know the nuts and bolts of news before
Baptist Press posts more detailed full-length stories.
“I am excited
about giving our readers this resource for reliable and instant access to
developments at the annual meeting,” said Will Hall, executive editor of Baptist
Press.
The blog will begin its coverage of the annual meeting at 9 a.m.
Eastern Tuesday and will report throughout the meeting on such news
as:
— Vote totals for president, first vice president, second vice
president and other officers.
— Results of votes on motions and
resolutions.
— SBC President Frank Page’s address.
— Quotes from
press conferences.
