Leave aside the news channels like CNN and NECN and so on that focus on national and regional stories.
On your local nightly news, have you heard anything about the flooding in NH over the past eight or nine days?
I know that it’s getting play on the Boston and Portland stations, but ME and MA are our neighbors. My guess is that it’s not a story being aired outside of New England. Am I right or wrong?
I live in the Boston area and I have heard a little about it but I don’t know much. People that I have talked to haven’t mentioned much about it and I only know about the flooding in a generic way.
Yes it is. But then, I’m in northern NY and my local stations are out of Burlington, VT. There’s also smaller amount of flooding on southern VT, and an even smaller amount in my area (most of it in my area is just basement flooding, and a couple roads almost washed out. Nothing too significant.)
Doesn’t (or never did) lead, maybe the 4th or 5th news story, have seen them spend maybe about 3 minutes on it in two reports or so over the past few days.
During Weather a time or two I have seen notes whether or not more rain is on the way to New England in a sentence or two when looking at the big National picture
I saw it on MSN.com a couple days ago, it had stories and pictures of Keene, Alstead and Hinsdale. I looked them up because I have friends who live near Lebanon NH and wanted to see if the flooding was near them.
Local NYC stations show it after they show local flooding. It’s ripple-effect reporting. A whole bunch about the flooding locally, some more about the outer tri-state area and the fade out to the flooding outside the tri-state area.
