“Brussels sprouts journalism” seeks to inform the public about public policy and the inner workings of the state government. Some examples provided in the article include education financing and bureaucratic priorities. A major strength to this type of niche media is that it provides a narrow focus on issues that are relevant, important, and of impact to everyone. In this type of journalism however, a problem arises. Often, with such a narrow focus, it is hard for journalists to remain in the public eye when breaking news takes precedence.
Carr shows bias in his coverage in that his article is formulated around quotes spoken by individuals who are clearly favorable towards this trend. While this may not have been intentional, it clearly seems to me that it is biased in that way.
After reading the article, I was confused about why Carr did not include more examples, other than the Tribune, if it is indeed a trend in journalism. Nonetheless, I felt that the article, aside from this flaw, provided enough background information regarding the Tribune.
