As the amount of news outlets, media coverage and campaign advertising has soared, we take up a simple question: Is all that extra information making it harder for voters like you to make a good decision when it's time to go to the polls? (Or, as one of our panelists suggests, is it simply making things more interesting?) Our discussion also explores ways to better navigate the flood of election-related messaging, as well as some ideas for making election-related news coverage more useful for voters. | Panelists: Dan Gillmor, director of the Knight Center for Digital Media Entrepreneurship and author of the book “We the Media: Grassroots Journalism by the People, for the People” Andrea Seabrook, former Congressional reporter and weekend host for NPR and founder of DecodeDC.
