5. I've developed a fairly large database of media sites around the country and including the U.S.

territories. There are currently 725 entries in that database organized not only by state, but also categorized as major, minor, alternative, or political sites. I also have the publishing company so that I can avoid looking at sites that have articles that duplicate each other.

If I am extremely diligent I have been able to report something from each state within 10 days. Currently, I am standing at 31 one days though. At least every state gets some coverage occasionally which is my goal. I know that when I joined DU in 2011 there was very little posted in the Texas Group which was discouraging. I started posting in that group, then moved out to adjacent states, and finally went countrywide during 2016 as the primaries were held. What is encouraging is that there are OPs being made in several of the state groups by other members so I consider those posts as a dividend to promote discussion and provide information.
