Blinkered vision

Abstract

New York-based reviewer Maury warns editors to ignore the American Midwest and South at their peril: America’s heavyweight media doesn’t pay attention to what goes on in the South, particularly the non-coastal South and the Midwest, and apparently don’t cover the area with freelancers. With the internet, one would think that bloggers would raise the alert, or that the national media would notice stories in local newspapers, but no… The international press needs to start watching the American South and Midwest on their own… Don’t take only The New York Times' word on what’s going on in the United States. What big media misses, in terms of landmass, would hold most of Europe.
