Comment on Local News As Sweeps Weeks Start

The Grapevine does not have a lot to communicate about our paper in a blog so we are going to try to comment on other media and their coverage of issues related to lower income people. We are afterall a media and it is appropriate to talk about coverage of poverty by the local media. We begin this experiment at the beginning of November sweeps weeks. It is a banquet for making fun of the local media. Remember Sharon Reed and her naked Sweeps walk? Or the over the top investigative reports? There is plenty of material and plenty to discuss. So we begin on Thursday November 3, 2005, and we will see if there is any interest.
