Media Bloggers Association

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Media Bloggers Association, or MBA, is an American membership-based, non-partisan organization involved in activities that support the development of blogs as an emerging distinct form of media.[1]

In January 2007, MBA members were among the first bloggers to receive press credentials identical to those of broadcast and print journalists at a federal court, to cover the trial of Lewis Libby, alongside bloggers from more established sites including the Huffington Post and Daily Kos. [2] The MBA described this as a significant step forward in its efforts on behalf of its members.[3]
