Comparing News Chief and Ledger Coverage of CSX
Posted by Josh Hallett on April 16, 2008 at 03:53 PM
When The Ledger purchased the News Chief, one of the benefits I hoped for was improved reporting, specifically around the CSX story. The News Chief has long ignored the CSX story from an investigative standpoint. Looks like things haven't changed much. Great case-in-point this morning. Shown below are the front pages of the News Chief and The Ledger.

The Ledger has a 'Special Report' on the CSX deal. Big news, with an investigation into the secrecy surrounding the state's deal with CSX. Surely this story has impact on Winter Haven? After all we're the proposed location of the ILS.
Nope, the News Chief featured a story about CSX, but a bit more positive....construction could start soon.
