CNN has enlisted social news site Digg for its election coverage, just in time for the Democratic National Convention, MediaWeek reports. The result of this collaboration is “Digg Dialogg,” a program where users can submit questions to politicians and political insiders via Digg.com or CNN’s iReport.com in text or video form. Each question will be posted where it can be rated by users, with the most popular ones to be used during the actual interviews. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., speaker of the house and chair of the 2008 convention, will be the first interviewee.
