A1: "Law enforcement issues arise at candidate forum"
In her second graph Cindy Barks mentions that water and growth dominated "much of the discussion," but coverage of these more important issues didn't make it into her story. Instead we get the non-issue of illegal immigration and the sexy-but-stupid idea of red-light cameras. Whether Cindy did this on purpose or not, or perhaps got a memo about it from the editor, it shows how editorial choices can insidiously influence the public discussion through omission and refocusing.

If you're still alive, try to update more often, Steve.
Thanks for checking in. I've been going through some personal stuff, I'll be back.
Sorry, Steve. Best of luck with that. We miss you.
Steve, were you as appalled and embarrassed as I was for the Courier when the "Mmmm...Eye Candy" hit the newsstands? I mean that's a headline I'd expect to see in a bad porn mag, not a newspaper, let alone a community newspaper. Wow, how embarrassing. jared
