Capitol press gallery clears out

The first time I was at an opening day of the Legislature (I think it was 1989, I remember that Tom Gustafson was speaker) I remember it was standing room only in the House press gallery. Reporters who weren't regulars with their own regular desk spaces were jammed shoulder to shoulder. Late arrivals were pressed up against the doors. That hasn't happened in a long time.

Steve Bousquet writes a piece on why it's easy to find a seat these days and why that's bad news. (Heck, even the row of newspaper machines outside the cafeteria is a shadow of what it used to be)
