The Badger Herald

Even though the Editor in Chief of The Badger Herald, Mac VerStandig, takes me to task for not worshipping at the alter of Wal-mart here, if you are ever down near the UW-Madison campus you should pick up a copy of the The Badger Herald.

I read an issue of the paper earlier this week and was really impressed with the coverage of the issues being debated in the state legislature. They had more coverage in the one issue I read than the Wisconsin State Journal has in a week.

They are the more conservative of the two campus papers but, I was really impressed with the paper and wish my local paper would devote as much time and thought into their political and legislative coverage.

If you are wondering just how much the Wisconsin State Journal shorts political coverage, check out today's issue that has county board races with only about three paragraphs and a few bio points for each race. How in the world are voters supposed to make an informed decision with that?
