It seems like we are always in political season.
And this leads to ask ourselves, how do we navigate through all the news sources to best educate ourselves about issues and candidates that will be on the ballot?
We talk with Mark Nuce, News Director at North American Broadcasting in Columbus, OH. He has been covering the news and elections since the Reagan/Carter election in 1980, so we know he has some great insight on how election coverage has changed (and in some ways, not) over the past 40 years.
With a 24/7 news cycle, reporting something like a presidential election is very different than in past years.
The general public is looking for unbiased news reporting, which is nearly impossible in today’s environment.
How has news coverage changed – for the good and/or bad – during your career?
Elections have changed with the onset of campaign financing - high ticket donations and high ticket publicity.
In the past the “boomer” generation was considered a huge voting block. With time passing, that group is diminishing in numbers, has it also diminished in strength?
There have been many states that have successfully used absentee ballots or mail-in ballots, including Ohio.
The League of Women Voters is one neutral resource for information for voters. Can you provide our listeners with other resources they can utilize to educate themselves on the elections – voting processes, candidates, platforms, etc.?
