With the monthslong slog of election season looming ahead and the political machine roaring to life, the reporters and staff of the Long Beach Post (Long Beach, California) have begun to take a hard look not only at our own plans for covering this cycle of races but at our past coverage, the coverage of other news organizations and the state of election coverage in the industry. What we found is that the information we provide hasn’t always been of significant value to the reader; in fact, in some cases, it may be doing more harm than good. ...
This is why, starting now, the Long Beach Post is taking a new, deliberate approach to the 2022 elections. Our aim is to focus everything we do around you, the reader and voter, instead of the candidates.
