CBS News and The Washington Post have partnered to share news for their online editions only during the 2008 US presidential campaign.

Both companies will share news videos and stories about the campaign. Readers will be able to engage in conversations with reporters from both companies in live chats.

These joint agreements for coverage seem to be the norm for the upcoming presidential campaign in the US.

The Washington Post’s Slate magazine had already entered an agreement with Yahoo and the Huffington Post to host online debates in the lead to the presidential campaign.

NBC News also had joined forces with The National Journal Group to share coverage during the campaign, and the Politico partnered with USA Today to share content.
