The way to provide interesting content on your elected officials is to send out reporters to report on the officials. However, that costs money.

Quote:
The New Voices of Philly.com include a gay leader, a stoner, a sexologist, a libertarian-leaning Realtor - even the legendary Flyers goalie Bernie Parent, dispensing advice on relationships.

Now add to that roster of columnists the governor of Pennsylvania, Tom Corbett.

"There is no political bias or intent, other than providing content that is interesting to our readers," said Robert J. Hall, chief executive officer of Interstate General Media, parent company of Philly.com, The Inquirer, and Philadelphia Daily News.

The decision by Philly.com to give regular space to Corbett, a Republican running for reelection in 2014, sparked criticism from several Democratic challengers who said they had not been afforded a similar platform. Experts on journalism ethics said the appearance of a news organization playing favorites so close to a campaign environment could raise questions of fairness.
