Fox Chicago’s Obama Tracker

Fox Chicago has been covering Barack Obama for years, long before the national media knew who he was, and now has created a great blog tracking coverage of him.

Fox’s Andrew Finlayson tells CyberJournalist.net:

We are trying something different and it is getting some traction.  We were spending time every day tracking Obama…finding out the latest so we could plan our coverage.  So our political team said they wanted to put the best or most interesting articles they were reading on a website.  The idea took off…now we are getting linked to from a number of places and traffic from search engines.  It is a low cost way to serve our viewers.

    I am worried that Mr. Obama will be drowned out by negative media campaign initiated from political opponents (guess who in particular)? I encourage Oprah Winfrey at this time, in particular to round up the country through positive media messages, so that we can vocally support Barrack Obama, who has the intellect and integrity to be a great President , and who will treat all American citizens fairly yet not be pushed around. Lets do it!

    I am worried about Obama geting drowned out in negative media campaigns. I suggest Oprah rally the country together through her positive media messages to support Obama for president. Now is the time to do this! Obama has the intellect and integrity to be a great President. He will be fair to all Ametricans, yet will not be pushed around. Let’s do this

    I went to the site and found nothing on it saying it was a FOX project. After I clicked on link, I was taken to FOX Chicago. The tracker site should show it is a FOX production. I fault FOX for lack of transparency in not identifying themselves in the Obama tracker. I want to know my source before I begin to trust what it is reporting and FOX is one source I do not trust.

    FOX doesn’t identify themselves because this product is just aggregated news. FOX isn’t the one writing the stories for the Obama Tracker.
