Official Genealogy Bloggers sought for 2013 NGS Conference
ARLINGTON, VA, 18 February
2013: The
National Genealogical Society (NGS) announces the opening of the Official
Blogger registration for the 2013 Family History Conference, 8-11 May, in Las
Vegas, Nevada.
NGS
welcomes bloggers’ participation at its conference and also wants to welcome
them as members of the press to the NGS conference. In recognition of the
important media role they play in the field of genealogy, NGS invites bloggers
to register at its website to request “Official Blogger – NGS 2013 Family
History Conference” designation and use of the NGS logo.
NGS recognizes
that the genealogical community is gifted with a large number of engaged and
talented bloggers who write regularly about the release of new records,
upcoming events, research methods, tools, software choices, and other items of
interest to the community. The designation of Official Blogger is a way for the
National Genealogical Society to give recognition to the daily contributions
these bloggers make to keep the field of genealogy current, particularly with
news that is not covered in the mainstream media.
Official Bloggers
will have a limited license to use an “Official Blogger – NGS 2013 Family
History Conference” designation and logo. The NGS Conference blog will link to
their blogs. Official bloggers will have access to the Media Center on the
exhibit hall floor. For more information on the NGS Social Media Policy, see: http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/ cs/social_media_policy .

blog or micro-blog, and would like to be recognized as an “Official Blogger of
the NGS 2013 Family History Conference,” please navigate to http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/ cs/official_blogger to apply and let us know a
