I maintain that elite media has a *huge* blind spot by hiring almost exclusively elite Ivy League grads (who almost always come from independently wealthy elite families). Good journalists also graduate from Big Ten and SEC schools, deserve to eat and can provide sorely needed alternate perspectives

Yep. Nick Kristoff thought he could waltz into Oregon politics and get elected Governor without, like, completely fulfilling the residency requirement. Voting in New York in the previous election put paid to that notion...so now he's back writing for the NYT.

There’s also the whole west coast that gets ignored, as evidenced by the focus on Cuomo rather than Inslee.

The road to every national media (and way too many other “national” level jobs) requires more than a year of full-time, unpaid internships in a major city. Our meritocratic cultural institutions literally recruit on the Anatole France version of “Our doors are open to anyone.”
