A Lack of Media Coverage on Shale Development
Tom Wilber recently wrote on the decline of journalism and surmised that phenomenon is resulting in limited media coverage of shale development requiring citizen journalists to fill the void. That’s one way of looking at the situation, albeit one that is slightly removed from recent experience. Read more at http://eidmarcellus.org/marcellus-shale/a-lack-of-media-coverage-on...

The media certainly gleefully jumped all over the recent Ohio DNR shale production report, announcing that the Utica is a dud, etc....I viewed the coverage as coming from hopeful anti-development reporters who spun the report in a (typically) sensationalist negative light. Bizarre, since the state of the Utica "play" has been well known for months and months, if not years, and there was nothing really earthshaking in the report. "If we characterize it as a dud, maybe it will go away..." Kind of childish IMHO. Getting the mainstream media to report on shale development without the agenda seems to be extremely difficult...hence the bloggers fill the void.
