Blogging the news...paper
Local blogger spends day in newspaper newsroom in Knoxville.
If there's one thing that the left and right halves of the blogosphere agree on, it's that the mainstream media is biased.
Of course, we don't agree on the direction of the bias, but that's just a minor quibble, right?
So which side is right? Both? Neither? After spending a day at the Knoxville News Sentinel, I still don't know, although I suspect that the answer is "a little of both." What I did discover was that there are other factors that play a far larger role in determining A) which stories are followed, and B) how they are presented.
Wanna do this? E-mail me or leave a comment, but be forewarned newsrooms aren't much more interesting than your typical bank, except during our Penny Wars! :)
