Rotating Regional Primaries Press will just give attention to the first region****(I?m Using - Brandon) Source: http://myweb.uiowa.edu/bhlai/caucus/norrander.pdf (Department of Political Science, University of Iowa, Iowa City) The regional primary format will not decrease the influence of the media. The press will continue to give the most attention to the first region, just as they now focus on Iowa and New Hampshire. Three decades of research on patterns of media coverage indicates the attractiveness of the first hard votes for presidential candidates as a news story (Robinson and McPherson 1977; Robinson and Sheehan 1983). The press, also, is unlikely to give equal coverage to the states within each region.
