Erie covers the Inauguration

January 20th, 2009 joel

We are about to witness what is one of the great hallmarks of the American republic: the peaceful transfer of power. What makes this presidential inauguration more historic is the presence of Barack Obama, the nation’s first African-American president.

The media is in overdrive, with unprecedented coverage of this moment. Locally, the Erie Times News sent their political specialist John Guerriero and photographer Jack Hanrahan to D.C. to cover the local angle of this historic event. GoErie.com’s Cody Switzer is writing in a live blog, submitting stories and pictures throughout the day.

Even though I could not confirm any local TV coverage on the ground at the Inauguration, either through e-mail reply or any indication on the stations’ websites, a P&T commenter shared that WJET anchor Sean Lafferty and photog Craig Rouse are live in DC.

Meanwhile, here are highlights from msnbc.com:
