As this political race begins to really heat up, it would be good to know what kind of media presents the most reliable coverage. Newspapers use a variety of sources, both local and national to present a story. They report daily and can do follow-up quickly.
Magazines can offer in-depth stories.
TIME's recent coverage of the Presidential race had a writer from the other person's camp as counterpoint to the stories. For example, the George W. Bush article had a writer from the Gore camp and visa versa. This allows for varying points of view within the story. Columnists give their point of view on different issues and new decisions and speeches of the day. The columns are usually found in the editorial section.
