Is our local media accurately covering the recession?
One question...do you think our local media, from print to broadcast, is accurately portraying the real issues surrounding the recession here in the Triad? I'm not so sure they are.
For instance, today's News & Record reports that the area as a whole is weathering the storm quite well, according to UNCG local economist Don Jud. Is it really?
I wrote on my sister blog GreensboroMetro the other day that our area cannot sustain an economy on $9/hour service jobs while continuing an attempt to be relevant.
So when I see articles like this, I have to step back and scratch my head and wonder...do they really get it?
E.C. :)
