FROM THE ORIGINAL POST:
"I as a past participant and known persuasion had already received notices
to remind me of the caucuses, but that many others I knew had no idea about
when and where this year. And while I didn't look hard, I don't remember
seeing any articles jumping out at me from either newspaper. Was there any?"
FOR THE RECORD:
The Pioneer Press published two stories on the caucuses, the morning of the
caucuses. One, included below, listed the times and locations for all the
caucuses and most of the Ward conventions, as well as directions to the
county's precinct finder. We also had a story about the endorsements by
Helgen, Lantry and Benanav that ran on the cover of the Local section, and
included a reference to the caucus story inside.
We also sent three reporters to the caucuses and had a story about them on
the cover of the local section the next day. We've since run separate
articles on the Ward 1, 2 and 5 conventions.
