Misses everything

Via NiemanLab, “local” “news” sources are trying to organize and collaborate. They held a Local News Day yesterday. WordPress put together a supposed list of local news sources outside the mainstream. It misses everything in Spokane.

The only thing listed is rangemedia.co, allegedly “regional”. I looked there and found the standard DNC talking points. You can get the same standard DNC talking points from MSN or the three TV channels. The list misses the Spokane News facebook page, the BEST source of real news reported by real people. It doesn’t even include the Spokesman-Review newspaper, which has grown MUCH closer to balanced news since it turned into a nonprofit. You’d think a list like this would include nonprofits. Maybe the Spokesman is too heretical to count as “news” now.
