Exhibit #1: Read Dan Beyerle's story about a Friday Alabama Supreme Court Ruling, in the New York Times Regional Newspapers, including the Tuscaloosa News and The Gadsden Times.
It's a story with such complexity only a newspaper story's length can tackle it...and Dana does a fine job explaining the decision and it's impact on the state.
Exhibit #2: Read this docket document about sexual abuse of boys charges against the Gerald Sandusky, an assistant football coach at Penn State, and a would-be successor to Penn State's Joe Paterno...courtesy The Philadelphia Enquirer and The Philadelphia Daily News newspapers.
Broadcast News has its strengths, and will remain the primary source of news for the public for a long time. But telling the full story about complex issuses is best left to the papers.
