Mongiardo sees economy reflected in DNC media

DENVER -- Denver's Democratic National Convention is the second Lt. Governor Daniel Mongiardo (D-Hazard) has attended.

This year, however, he sees a difference from the 2004 convention he attended in Boston. Mongiardo told PolitickerKY.com that economic fluctuations are being reflected in the presence of the news media here in Denver.

"I see the impact of the economy on the media," said Mongiardo. "In Boston, there were rows and rows and rows of radio stations and it seems like there were a lot more reporters there. I think the economy has impacted the media because I don’t see as much of it as I did four years ago."

The presence of Kentucky-based media in Denver is minimal this convention, with very few reporters on-site.
