Meet the Press Goes Interactive Online

NBC News and msnbc.com today rolled out a redesigned website for “Meet the Press with David Gregory” that allows viewers to interact with the show’s host online, follow his Twitter feed and connect with his Facebook page.

It’s yet another example of convergence as content producers strive to provide a similar viewing experience on multiple platforms while utilizing emerging web tools and technology.

“Since becoming moderator of ‘Meet the Press,’ I’ve made it a priority to connect with our viewers on every platform because my job isn’t only about asking our guests the tough questions, but it’s to make sure our audience has every opportunity to be part of that conversation,” Gregory said in a prepared statement. “Our newly designed website is a place where all our worlds connect and I hope our viewers find it as useful as the news we make.”

The site will include the latest entry from Gregory’s blog, “The View from Here,” as well as his political analysis from other NBC News programs. Detailed summaries of previous shows, information on upcoming guests and archival transcripts from each show also will be available.

“Meet the Press” is broadcast on NBC from 9-10 a.m. ET in most markets.
