Posted by Bob Hunter A reader’s question on this blog asks why newspapers haven’t done more coverage on the liquid natural gas pipeline that is proposed to run from Coos Bay to Malin. I checked our archives and found we have done at least 13 stories (my archive search may have missed a few) on the proposal, which first became public last summer. So we’re averaging about a story and a half a month. Is that enough? Probably, if you’re an average reader. Probably not, if you have a personal stake in the issue. And that’s not unusual for any topic — there are people who want more information than we can possibly give them. But it’s also an opportunity to use the power of the Web, so if anybody has a good source of additional information, you can let her know here. Our online forums also generate a lot of good information (and some weird info as well). If you want to start a topic and get people talking about it, check it out. I suspect our coverage on the natural gas line will ramp up as a decision draws closer. If anybody has any good story ideas, send them our way.
