Owens, Hoffman, Scozzafava Coverage Tops Google News

by Brian Mann on November 2nd, 2009

Like a lot of journalists, I use Google News all the time — hourly, minute-by-minute sometimes — to track what’s going on nationally and here in our region.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a North Country story top the page. Even the cruise boat tragedy on Lake George didn’t top the “news charts.”

But the NY-23 race is there — peaking with stories from every conceivable news organization around the world.

Wow. FWIW, NCPR will have a piece this evening on NPR’s All Things Considered. Our reports have also been featured on WNYC’s The Takeaway and on PBS NewsHour’s website.

Also, the debate we helped produce in Plattsburgh is featured prominently in CNN’s report on the contest.

Like most of you, I’m really ready to have this all over tomorrow. But I guess it’s worth nodding at the circus and hoopla…
