Election countdown…

October 31st, 2008 Posted in local

Coverage of Election Day is becoming more urgent and — in some instances — a bit shrill. Many of the local stories are focusing on problems and issues associated with early voting (which, for full disclosure, I did this week with zero problems during the two-hour wait). As that is a “new” and relatively unexplored angle, I’ve found much of the coverage interesting. I could do without the coverage of the annoying local robocalls (we know they are annoying) and the continued interest in the nastiness of each presidential candidate’s campaign.

Please remember there are LOCAL races going on, and one more set of Atlanta Press Club debates, scheduled to be taped and air on November 2. Visit atlantapressclub.org for more information.

Good luck covering — and voting in — these crucial elections!
