Air America

Today marks the two year anniversary of the debut of Air America. Intended as a “voice for liberals”, it first aired on five stations.

Listeners can listen via the web to any of its shows. A featured talk show host is Al Franken of The Al Franken Show. Last August Al Franken had Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson on his show after the August 22nd protest of George Bush when GW was in town for the VFW conference. The protest attracted abotu 3,000 people. The Al Franken show also used one of my photographs of that protest on the tv version of that show and they sent me a DVD of that show as a thank you for allowing them to use the photograph.

Funny….

It’s now been 5 days since the press release went out announcing Julian Hatch’s candidacy.

And still no word of it in the Utah newspapers.

Jen’s Journal mentions it; Ken Sain mentions it; and it’s mentioned on Utah Policy’s Blogwatch today.

Another release went out this morning announcing the press conference this Saturday. There will be more information on this blog regarding that soon.

I wonder if the local papers will pick this up or will keep trying to ignore Hatch v. Hatch?

Still nothing in the local papers, Trib or D-News. What gives with them?

Hatch v Hatch media coverage

As Outreach Coordinator for the Julian Hatch for U.S. Senate Campaign, I was excited to learn that the press release I issued to Utah Media Outlets reached the Associated Press, resulting in the announcement getting published in about 20 national and international outlets, including the London Guardian.

Two Utah television stations picked up the story.

Nada in the two major papers in Utah – the Salt Lake Tribune and the Deseret News.

So this morning I have emailed the press release to about two dozen news reporters at those two papers, pointing out that the news has been released internationally. Let’s see if that gets any coverage.

Meanwhile we are preparing for a Campagin Kickoff Press Conference next Saturday, November 19th just prior to the GPUT’s film screening of the new Walmart movie. I’ll provide more details here in a few days.
