Hillary Clinton answered some questions from journalists in a Facebook Q&A last weekend, but Jack Murtha says the goal of the digital town hall was to “charm current and would-be supporters.” When politicians restrict journalists’ normal methods of access, digital town halls could represent an opportunity to get questions answered. But Murtha writes that these digital town halls more closely represent press releases than anything else: “Journalists can’t avoid these brief, manufactured online interactions, but they also shouldn’t settle for them. There’s no replacement for regular press access.”
