I was thinking about my radio career today. Early on, it seemed like politicians were much more accessible. I had @BradWall306 on speed dial in #YLL. I had many #ABleg ministers' personal cells. Does that happen nowadays or are the only connections through press secretaries?
It felt like there was a level of accountability that came with the job & there was no go-between. I will say this: trying to lineup #ABleg ministers for my show over the last year was nearly impossible. A few came on (@AdrianaLaGrange, @tanya_fir & @RicMcIver come to mind).
They were always booked through press secretaries. It's their job & I get that. However, if it's their job, the inconsistency was noticeable. I tried multiple times to get @shandro (pre-pandemic), @JasonNixonAB & others on, but was met with written statements or silence.
