The presidential election; such a big part of our lives at the moment. I would have thought that all newspapers, local or national, would be talking about it. That isn’t really the case for the Career Journal. We don’t typically have more than three political stories, and those are mostly about local elections. For example, we have stories about the next Senator or state House of Representative. Even the other news sources talked about the third and final debate, and the second and first ones. We didn’t get too much of the national political action.
I can understand that this is a local newspaper, but the presidential election is very relevant to all of us in the nation. It makes me curious on why they aren’t printed too many stories. CJ loves to print sports, and while all of them are local, sometimes they outnumber the politics 4:1. That’s just so shocking for me to read. I would, personally, care more about the government and where it stands, than a story about UofL basketball.
Overall, I’ve noticed, not necessarily a lack in political stories, but a smaller number of stories I was expecting. This really does surprise me, but overall, I can kind of see why a local newspaper would rather print local political stories over national ones.
