<font size=2>A report card on both new and old media's coverage of the
election and its aftermath. <br>
Were the print media more accurate and nuanced than the electronic media
in reporting<br>
on the candidates and framing the central questions facing the country?
What was the <br>
impact of the Internet and the emerging blogosphere? Has media coverage
of the president <br>
and his foreign and domestic policies changed since his re-election? Are
American news <br>
sources, particularly TV networks, fulfilling the role envisioned in the
constitution for media <br>
in a democracy?</font> <br><br>
