Globe promises more state coverage

The Joplin Globe plans to step up its coverage of Missouri state government, according to Editor Carol Stark's column in today's edition.
That plan includes coverage from Missouri Southern State University student Alexandria Nicolas, editor of the university's newspaper, The Chart, as well as an unspecified form of coverage from Globe reporters:

We’ll be watching the Legislature more closely this session, using Alexandria Nicolas, editor of Missouri Southern State University’s paper, The Chart, to help us in our reporting. We’re also committed to putting out own reporters in place to cover some of the events as they unfold in the Legislature.

We’ll be giving the Missouri presidential primary special attention, beginning with a series of Sunday stories next month, an in-depth preview of the primary, and of course, coverage of that event.


Hopefully, the Globe's coverage will not be limited to simply self-serving quotes from our elected officials on whatever legislation may be the center of attention.
