Michelle Obama to speak at UNH on Tuesday
It's actually very coincidental I found this story on Seacoast online because I was just on Facebook and someone posted that the first lady would be visiting UNH on Tuesday. I think it is so cool to attend a school in a swing state, like NH, because we get so much political attention. Especially being in college, politicians seem to really focus in on the younger generation, encouraging them to vote. It's very exciting being on a college campus as a first time voter and as a journalist. It seems that, during an election year, there is always a story to write about. Whether it's that debate or this speaker or so and so's smear campaign, there's always some political buzz floating around. One thing I was wonder though was how can a journalist or a publication make sure their paper isn't biased when one group seems to be focused on the area. I've noticed that democrats seem to be visiting the UNH area more than any other political group. As a journalist it's easy to go to these democratic speeches but isn't that only reporting on one side of the presidential race? How can a newspaper not be biased when only democratic or republican speakers are coming to the area? Or is that an issue at all?
