Analysis:

This is a very short piece reporting on some local fundraisers by the gubernatorial candidates. Other than the fact that these fund raisers took place, no other information is provided that would help make the viewer a more informed voter. If voters did want to learn more about where the gubernatorial candidates are getting their funding, that information can be found at the website for the Michigan Secretary of State Campaign Finance Reporting Database.

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.
