Sorry for being a bit tardy to this st...Great post!<br />Sorry for being a bit tardy to this story but I agree with everything written here, since the parallels to South Florida media's news coverage of local govt. and public policy are all too sadly obvious to ignore. Especially the part about actually having to try to personally persuade reporters and columnists to actually<br />show-up at an event and report!<br /><br />Despite the myriad story-lines at Hallandale Beach City Hall, where anti-democratic and plain illegal behavior has gone un-checked for years under the current regime, the Miami Herald has only sent a reporter to a City Commission once in the past two years.<br />Really.<br /><br />And they continually ignore stories with great portent for the area... simply because they are in HB, but if the same thing happned in Coral Gables or Plantation or Kendall, it'd be on the front page of the local section.<br /><br />The local media's lack of curiosity is so troubling on so many levels, should it really be any wonder that so many drama and/or public policy enthusiasts in South Florida just shrug their shoulders when they hear about more news reporters getting laid-off? Why should we care about THEIR career troubles?<br />Increasingly, we don't.Hallandale Beach/Hollywood Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17680589186814584045noreply@blogger.com
