What types of media coverage are members most likely to seek out, and why?
What will be an ideal response?
Members are most likely to seek out coverage from local media, especially broadcast media. Coverage from hometown reporters is overwhelmingly positive, with stations viewing appearances by members as a way to get the legislator on video rather than an opportunity to question them in detail. This allows members to express their views with few challenges while reaching a large number of voters.
