Cleveland Plain Dealer
"I can't think of anything that has less significant news value than a campaign appearance a year and a half before the election," says one Plain Dealer editor. Yet Barack Obama's visit to Cleveland made the PD's front page last week. Ombud Ted Diadiun explains why: "No politician on the national scene has currently captured the public's imagination like Barack Obama. ...Generally considered to be the first black candidate with a legitimate chance to win the presidency, he enjoys a unique place in history. That means our readers will have more interest in his early campaign than in others." More editor/ombud columns:
