I’m puzzled that our major national #journalism outlets, especially the resource-rich NYTimes, have given so little attention in news coverage and followup to #Florida’s book banning, speech regulation and political interference in education. Little sense of historic context and precedents, who’s affected, who’s fighting back, much more.

#DeSantis campaign coverage mentions this as political strategy only

@melaniesill Really? I can't quantify it at the drop of a hat, but it seems to me that the Times' coverage has been broad and deep, focusing on the substance as well as the politics. I wonder how the nightly network newscasts have been doing.
@dankennedy_nu Glad to see examples.
I haven’t seen that. Have seen a couple of pieces on DeSantis actions as political strategy. Nothing exploring it on front lines in the ways I mentioned. Post has done a little better. Chron of Higher Ed too.
@dankennedy_nu @melaniesill I was about to say the same. I’ve read numerous articles in NYT.
