With municipal elections next month and the presidential election only months away, Gary Castor chats with City Editor Rebecca Martin about how reporters at the Jefferson City News Tribune cover elections and what strategies the newspaper uses to reach a wider audience, all while trying to remain fair throughout its coverage.
