Quantity-wise, the Chicago News Cooperative has as much or more education coverage as the Tribune, the Sun-Times, WBEZ, or Catalyst. So generally, I'm glad they're out there adding eyeballs to what's going on downtown and in the schools. But what about quality and the analysis? That's where I have some questions.
Either because the reporters are generally young or the leanings of the editorial staff the individual stories and the overall impression tend towards the superficial and sympathetic -- especially when it comes to coverage of so-called reformers downtown. Today's sunny profile of busy Brizard is a good example -- what's called a "beat sweetener" in journalism (because it sweetens the relationship between the beat reporter and his or her sources). Maybe I'm being too critical, or looking a gift horse in the mouth (it wouldn't be the first time). Take a look at CNC's education stories and let us know what you think. Specific story examples are especially helpful.
