Karyn McConnell Hancock: Media Coverage

I've been a journalist for nearly 25 years and I have to admit some of the McConnell Hancock media coverage has left me a little under-whelmed. I want to hear from fellow NOBMA and local NABJ members and the public before I throw my tw0 cents in, seeing that I'm living in Indiana now and I can only pick up what's online. I'm sure I'm missing a great deal (I sure hope so.) Since no one else will ask it, I will: how much of this story is affected because she's African-American and a woman? Has that meant better coverage or worse coverage? Why?
