I found this via Zinnian Democracy tonight: an excellent post on NYCO’s blog about the Upstate/Downstate dichotomy of New York, as it is both expressed and influenced by our state media.

The gist of the article is that because NYC is a huge media stronghold and Upstate NY has “no [NY] Times of our own,” our political influence is unnecessarily diluted.

Do go & read if you’re a NYS resident, it’s an amazingly insightful post.

(I gotta put this blog on my blogroll somewhere, even if it means editing my categories, lol.)

(I also hope someone sees the situation this post describes for the incredible [online] publishing opportunity that it is . . . )
