Mainstream Media Continues Capitol Cutbacks

  • 4 Comments
  • by: donscottknox

The news continues to be gloomy in the news biz as the Colorado Springs Gazette discloses that it won’t staff the Capitol next session.

A question for Pols readers: What takes the place of the MSM? Pols? Something/someone else?

This from State Bill Colorado

The Colorado Springs Gazette next month will join the list of Colorado newspapers that won’t have a full-time reporter working at Colorado’s Capitol.

The Gazette’s political reporter, Dean Toda, recently departed the newspaper as part of a round of layoffs that cost the jobs of 10 percent of newsroom staffers, Managing Editor Larry Ryckman said. Tom Roeder, who covers the military beat for the newspaper, will take over political reporting duties, but he will do so largely from Colorado Springs, Ryckman said.

And this:


The Gazette will supplement its political coverage with reports from The Denver Post, with which the Colorado Springs newspaper has a content-sharing agreement, and from the Associated Press, which employs full-time Capitol reporter, Steven K. Paulson.

  1. No we don’t have some of the advantages of a full-time reporter assigned to that beat. But economics is what it is. There isn’t a way to make money reporting on state politics (that anyone has come up with yet).

    And there is a lot of knowledge out there by people who post here and elsewhere. And this matches how people are getting their news now. People do not read a paper. Nor do they read a website from top to bottom. They skim a few sites, follow cross links, Google, etc. Random posts at random locations works very well in this model.

    For example google Michael Bennet Interview – it’s right there at the top. It’s going to be interesting to see how this evolves.

  2. … but I think they need to think more like wire services by posting their content in multiple places and making it available through disparate sources. Colorado Capitol Reporters is a content-sharing network I run that’s intended for traditional MSM as well as new media organizations. We do not have many blogger submissions. One caveat for anyone contributing to CCR: Actual or perceived conflicts on the part of the author(s) need to be prominently disclosed. This is a journalistic standard. After that, it’s up to the editor(s) to decide where (and whether) to disseminate/distribute. Your Bennett interview probably is worthy of wider distribution, David.
