Analysis:

This story just tells viewers that Republican Dick DeVos will begin airing ads. They provide no analysis of the ad, no commentary on the role that paid political ads play in elections, nor how much channel 13 will profit off these ads.

Story:

WZZM 13 Newsreader - And the race for Governor takes a step forward tomorrow. The campaign for Republican Dick DeVos will begin airing new TV commercials and that includes the purchase of time right here on WZZM 13. DeVos has not formally declared his candidacy, but candidates have until the middle of May to file for the August 8th Primary. We've tried to reach Governor Granholm's campaign office for comment, but have not yet received a response.

Dissecting the Local News

Dissecting the Local News is designed to provide ongoing examples of 1) how to think critically about how news is reported; 2) to demonstrate how commercial news provides almost no useful coverage that would allow the public to make informed decisions about what is happening in their community, and 3) to show how local news reporting would rather entertain the public than hold both political and economic power accountable.
