September 30, 2004Raze Spin AlleyHat Tip to Jeff Jarvis for pointing out Jay Rosen's Raze Spin Alley, which suggests journalists eschew current debate and post-debate coverage practices. It won't save the debates, which should be changed to something much closer to "lock these guys in a room" but at least it's a start. The idea I liked the best was "make all the pundits and partisans shut up and let someone else have a crack at it." I'd love it if the media or some bi-partisan group randomly selected a group of undecided voters to watch, and gave each of them a chance ahead of time to say what they wanted the candidates to show them. Then afterward, they could each answer a few questions and say how they felt about what occurred. IMO, the coverage needs to change. As is, it's a largely pointless ritual pageant, as Rosen stresses.
