MinnPost journlists Eric Black and Cynthia Dizikes appeared on the MinnPost stage at the Minnesota State Fair to discuss how political journalism has changed because of the Internet. Dizikes is MinnPost’s Washington, D.C, correspondent, one of only two full-time Washington reporters working for a Minnesota news organization.
