Covering the Coverage: Why It Matters

Unfortunately for me, I have limited tv access today so my coverage of the press conference in Neosho will be limited. I do, however, think that it is important for you the viewer to know who covers the story, when, where, and how.

Yesterday's breaking news from Neosho isn't about a horserace to see who can get on the scene first, but rather which stations will deploy the resources to keep you, the public, informed during times of breaking news. It will be interesting to see if all stations cover the press conference live today or if they wait to show the highlights of it during their newscast.

It was evident yesterday who was able to get you the story when it matters most. Maybe it served as a wake-up call to those who were simply behind the ball.
