V,UI sides our governor's race here was what was going on with Jesse Helms. We had more people interested in that than anything else." Ertz said he felt that the "something extra" was what made election coverage stand out. The coverage of Helms, an interview with Lee Atwater and the up-todate results were the "extra" that set WIS-TV apart from other coverage, Ertz said. Thelen said The State's coverage had to go a step beyond what television had already covered. Their coverage used extensive graphics to show results and put the information from election night into a "nutshell" so results could be easily read. iGi Jf ' r's Mill is... treet m \ I j I & ASSOCIATES f t r m J * m' jj ~Z3 IEATWMS, age J 'The windows started exploding while we were in there," he said.

"No matter how good a newspaper you produce, if you don't get it to people on time, they aren't going to read it," Thelen said. "So we wanted to make damn sure election night that not only were we good, but we were disciplined."
