Newswatch is the only local outlet to bring the convention home to Erie viewers with local tie ins to delegates and newsmakers of northwest Pennsylvania. With the number of stations in the Next Media chain, wouldn't it have made perfectly good sense to do the same? A corp of four reporters and camera/editors could have banged out local stories from Minneapolis for most of the larger news operations in the chain. Would it have meant spending some money? You betch ya! But isn't that part of driving a news audience. Strategically placed news crews and timely promotion go a long ways. Now, if we could only convince Erie viewers that car crashes and fires are not always newsworthy items, perhaps the ratings would be more representative of the high quality coming from 12th and Peach streets.
