I really enjoyed this picture from the Salem News: http://www.salemnews.com/archive/x67370088

Amazing how well a picture can depict a story. They're so important to the newspaper, especially local publications, as all news is local... if you can tie in your readers, they are more likely to become connected to the newspaper on a day-to-day basis.
In terms of what is missing what in today's political coverage, I still get frustrated with reporters' lack of objectivity. If the piece isn't an op-ed, then truthfully, I am much more interested in learning the facts of the story. That is, to me, an immense piece of journalism as a reader and a writer.
