Primary election news & media bias

SDPB

This interview originally aired on "In the Moment" on SDPB Radio.

Our Dakota Political Junkie dives into the question of open primaries ahead of the upcoming election season.

Tom Dempster is a former South Dakota state senator. He shares his views on why open primaries are a more democratic alternative.

Plus, we hear Dempster's analysis into the essay an NPR senior editor published accusing the news organization of losing its listeners' trust. We discuss what open and curious coverage can look like.
