Link here to the story on Barack Obama's event Saturday in downtown Springfield. Rich Miller, who writes the blog, is one of the best political reporters in the business. The State Journal-Register also has a pre-story (or -stories) by J-R political columnist Bernie Schoenberg. He is also a very good reporter. We'll be keeping up with both this semester, especially when the state Legislature comes back for the "veto session" in November.
I will be assigning you to compare the coverage of Obama's campaign event in local, state (in other words Chicago) and national news media. Details to follow. If your schedule permits you to attend the rally, tentatively scheduled for 1 p.m. at the Old State Capitol, I strongly encourage you to do so.
