In reviewing election results, at first my thought was that unless an incumbent pisses people off, they win. But the Morales campaign just went out and beat Smiley. Maybe Providence voters were pissed off but compared to what the voters thought of McKee, it didn't seem like much anger at Smiley.

you could make the paradoxical argument I think that a lot of PVD, outside the big stories, was a news desert. Projo had been cycling through different metro reporters for different years, and the PVD Eye only hired their first FT journo earlier this year

A related issue is an over reliance by news outlets to get their info from paid official spokespeople rather than talking to real people and community groups for their perspectives
