The 2007 YearlyKos Convention drew more than 250 individuals representing 200 media outlets, including CNN, C-SPAN, PBS, the NBC and ABC national and regional affilliates, NPR, Associated Press, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, and Le Monde.

A pre-convention story by John McCormick of the Chicago Tribune said, "Anyone who doubts blogger clout should consider this: seven presidential candidates, the two top congressional leaders and the Democratic Party's chairman will all stop by to pay their respects."

And subsequent coverage called out the emergence of the Netroots in current political discourse ("Liberal bloggers can count the ways they are making their presence felt in the presidential race." –AP) and beyond 2008 ("The Netroots appear to be here to stay. Much of the debate at this year's conference is aimed not at defining who the group is but rather at on what the group should do in 2008 and beyond." –Chris Cillizza, Washington Post).
