A special project by bloggers received unprecedented access for new media at the recent G20 economic summit in London. G20Voice, a consortium of some of the world's most successful bloggers, received permission from the British government to sit alongside the mainstream media, with equal access to the heads of state and government. The bloggers say their work gives millions of people -- who normally do not have access to the powerful -- a stake in the outcome of events such as the summit.
