The "Topics of Campaign Stories" figure is a dramatic illustration of what we all know to be true: that political journalists cover the sport of politics. I will use this space to build on their critique of campaign journalism, rather than critique them. Political reporters and editors should reflect on this captivating distillation of their work. Perhaps over time the editors at least will come to understand that we need a whole other set of journalists to be assigned who write for a readership made up of voters [whose preferences are summarized in a poll result in this story] rather than just the political junkies; we need journalists who are interested in issues, not polls, fundraising or personality quirks.
