The Southeast Missourian is a daily in Cape Girardeau, but that area is depicted as having no dailies. In western Kansas, the Garden City Telegram is a daily (publishing 6 days per week). Same thing in western Nebraska (North Platte Telegraph publishes 6 days a week). So are you discounting dailies unless they publish all 7 days ?

CJR has been pushing this map pretty hard on social media. I wonder if we could get some explanation for all the seeming inaccuracies?

That apparently uncovered spot in southwest Montana is home to the Bozeman Daily Chronicle, my paper. The uncovered spot in northwest Montana is home to the Daily Inter-Lake and Flathead Beacon. Most counties in eastern Montana do not have a single daily paper of their own, despite what the map shows. There isn't some magical place along the state's northern tier with more than one daily either. I question the data.

Great idea for a graphic, but I have questions about these data. The daily paper I work for covers Sullivan County, NH; Windsor County, VT; and Orange County, VT -- all gray. There are other dailies in those counties, too. From other comments it sounds like this is not unique to my area. Any chance you could clarify?

While I completely question rating "news deserts" by the presence or absence of a daily newspaper, even by that methodology this study is flawed. It represents Yuma County, Ariz., as being without a daily.

I think the folks at the Yuma Sun (seven days/week) might be somewhat surprised by that.

It's also rather curious to measure the number of newspapers per 100,000 residents, which seems a meaningless bit of data.

The graphic doesn't appear to be correct. I'm a staff writer in San Bernardino County, the huge and easy to spot county in Southern California, which your map says has one daily. This comes as a shock to the reporters at the more than six dailies here.

On Twitter, a reporter at a daily in Arkansas is asking why his county shows no dailies there at all.

Any chance of clarification on what happened here?

As gambling swallows up sports media, anyone pausing to consider editorial conflicts (or, in the case of bets based on nonpublic information, possible law-breaking) might feel left out. Michael Lombardi, a former NFL team executive who later became a sports reporter, now gives gambling advice at VSiN, known as “the CNBC of sports betting.” Recently, he told me, “If you don’t like change, you’re going to like irrelevance even less.”

As long as a significant proportion of the population remains unvaccinated, everyone is likely to face risk.

Still, there is a risk, too, of oversimplifying the vaccine-rules story:

Getting the ‘vaccine mandates’ story right

On Tuesday, Fred Ryan, the publisher of the Washington Post, laid down the law: staffers will have to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by mid-September, when the paper plans to reopen its offices. If employees don’t comply, they risk losing their jobs. Contractors and guests will also have to ...

CNN public editor: Infrastructure is important, if not flashy

It was another dull day at the White House, according to CNN. The president’s remarks pretty much began on time. His voice was calm. The setting, at a lectern, was routine. All signals of a predictability that utterly bores cable news producers. It was quite different with the last occupant. Every...
