The Gas Price Story, Again
http://postbourgie.com/ 2008/ 05/ 08/ the-gas-price-story-again/
The other day, I walked in to my newspaper office expecting to cover a public board meeting, and my editors asked me to do a story on rising gas prices. A local station had started to charge $4.09 a gallon (this was before they all started doing that.) The transportation reporter is out on paternity leave, our news section is down about half the reporters it was a year ago, and gas prices are on reader’s minds. It was a fair assignment and turned into a not-bad story. The story led with the expensive gas station, quoted a representative of big oil and an industry analyst, and was tied to a chart that showed prices around the city.
