Duluth paper launches 'mayoral madness'

July 31, 2007

Listen to feature audio

The Duluth News Tribune has come up with an unusual way to introduce the city's 12 mayoral candidates. It has launched an NCAA-style tournament.

The paper assigned each candidate a seed, paired them up, and drew brackets -- just like the ones you see during March Madness. Now it's publishing information about the candidates in the paper, so the public can vote on each matchup.

MPR's Cathy Wurzer talked with Robin Washington, editorial page editor at the Duluth News Tribune.
