The news industry is as troubled as any other in America.\u00a0 Newspapers and TV stations are struggling.\u00a0 A lot of traditional AM radio news departments have vanished.<\/p>\n
But last night’s election coverage reflected a cool new trend in the North Country:\u00a0 collaboration.<\/p>\n
NCPR’s live reports and web content included contributions from WNBZ’s Jon Alexander, the Adirondack Daily Enterprise’s Chris Knight and Nate Brown, and material from fellow public radio station WRVO.<\/p>\n
(WNBZ’s Chris Morris and the Enterprise’s Peter Crowley helped put all this together.)<\/p>\n
Through the election, NCPR also turned for help to Jude Seymour at the Watertown Daily Times, Jimmy Vielkind at the Albany Times-Union, among others.<\/p>\n
The truth is that none of our operations have the people-power to be everywhere all the time, especially on a big night like this.\u00a0 (NCPR’s news room currently has two full-time reporters…)<\/p>\n
And while we all hustle to get scoops and be the first on big stories, our first job is serving our audiences.<\/p>\n
Because of these partnerships, we had good reporters on the ground across the North Country, from Watertown to Plattsburgh to Saratoga Springs.<\/p>\n
Thanks to everybody who chipped in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
