History: Bloggers get in trial

The trial of former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby is making media history in one of the nation's historic courthouses.

For the first time, reporters for Web logs received the same press credentials as print and broadcast journalists at the 55-year-old courthouse in Washington where the Pentagon Papers opinion was crafted and the Watergate trials were held.

Members of the Media Bloggers Association, an organization dedicated to "citizen journalism," were approved for credentials, which will rotate among its members. Reporters will also provide coverage for blogs such as the Huffington Post and Daily Kos.
