I think the whole team is moving in the right direction. There weren't any gaps in our game tonight.

To comply with that direction, the state party began a policy of only posting the first few paragraphs of AP stories, while making sure to clearly mark them as excerpts on the site.

It still doesn't bring equity, but it's a step in the right direction.
