WATCHDOG: WHPTV 21 was at the Conestoga Fire Company on Monday, and provided a live shot on their 5:30 newscast. At the 10 PM newscast, Fox 43 broadcasted live, offering abbreviated but live coverage of the citizen's meeting.
It's good to see TV coverage of an event where citizens are getting involved and expressing their thoughts over what is happening in their community. Megan's Law stories always seem to catch the attention of the media, although some handle them more responsibly than others.
But we have to wonder why WGAL or ABC 27 didn't bother to have live coverage of this important discussion and clash of ideas. When over 300 people jam a community firehouse to express their fears or defend registered sex offenders living on Main Street, that's news.
