Continuing our “Price of the Prize” coverage, we update the state of fundraising and television advertising a few days before the 2014 Pennsylvania gubernatorial election.
In conjunction with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, PublicSource launched our 2014 campaign finance app “Price of the Prize” along with this story. I compiled and published campaign finance data for the Pennsylvania governor’s race and continued to track television advertising across 24 stations in Pennsylvania’s six TV markets. This series of stories won a second prize for enterprise reporting in the 2015 Pennsylvania SPJ Spotlight Awards. Our app “Price of the Prize” also won second place for web use in the Spotlight Awards.
In the final days leading up to the Columbia City Council meeting where they could approve the 181-acre Richland Road rezoning request, I spoke with the one family whose property would be in the middle of the U-shaped request.
