Kansas Primary 2008 recap at Matt Croydon::Postneo

Matt's been working on the JW's election coverage for a few years now, and it's getting *really* slick. To me, though, the most interesting part is in how Matt's been able to track down clueful people at Douglas County and the Secretary of State; having a quick and clean source of data makes this process much, must easier. It strikes me that there really isn't a whole lot of difference between Matt cultivating these relationships and a “traditional” journalist's cultivation of sources.
