Earlier this week, Anna Clark, Michigan correspondent for CJR’s Swing States Project, appeared on bloggingheads.tv’s The Posner Show. Below, watch Clark and Sarah Posner’s lively fifty-plus-minute conversation, in which they touch on topics recently addressed by CJR, including: last week’s changes at GOOD; excessive coverage of candidates’ “gaffes;” reporting on Romney’s Mormonism, which Posner calls “dissatisfying;” and the enduring gender gap on op-ed pages and elsewhere.
