I haven't been on the blog too much lately because I've been preparing for tomorrow night's Election Night coverage on WHYY TV-12 but I feel compelled to jump on real quick to make everyone aware of this fantastic feature piece that was written and produced by WHYY 91FM's Susan Phillips.
Susan takes a look back at several of the key points in the campaign as they have been defined by the appearance of television ads by certain candidates and compares the power and effectiveness of mass media television to the GOTV and grassroots efforts of candidate field operations and party machinery. Councilman Jim Kenney, candidates Michael Nutter, Chaka Fattah, Bob Brady, Tom Knox and Dwight Evans, and others lend their thoughts to this piece.
It's really well done and the kind of thoughtful, in-depth piece you may have come to expect from WHYY. (Don't worry, I'm not going to ask you to become a member now... besides, our spring pledge drive is over).
The piece ran this morning during Morning Edition and is also running this afternoon but in case you can't get to a radio or you just keep missing it, you can download it or just click on the link to open it up in your browser. I think you need Quick Time or Winamp or something that'll play an .mp3.
Enjoy.
