Summary of panel on “Journalism and the 2010 Election”
Here’s a summary, from a live blog on Colorado Pols, of a panel discussion yesterday on media coverage of the 2010 election in Colorado.
About 50 people attended the event, co-sponsored by UCD School of Public Affairs and Rocky Mountain Media Watch, which houses this blog.
Over about an hour and a half, the five panelists addressed issues ranging from the lack of day-to-day political coverage on Channels 4 and 7 to the reasons whether the The Post would have reported the McInnis plagiarism scandal if the Rocky had not folded.
The journalists on the panel responded to questions from the audience for about 45 minutes.
I’ll follow-up on some of the issues raised at the panel in future blog posts.
