Repeal of Tax Breaks Fades From News Coverage
Reporters and press aides say the official repeal drew little notice in media coverage. James Johnson, former reporter and Johnson’s colleagues argue that both print and electronic outlets show limited interest in stories about lawmakers and reforms, reflecting a broader reporting malaise in the capital. The public’s attention drift and perceived credibility concerns further dampened interest in the repeal.
