St. Louis, MO –

In local newsrooms, reporters can for the most part sit back and watch presidential campaign season without having to cover it themselves. But what happens when one of the candidates is also a local?

KWMU's Tom Weber prepared this story for On the Media on how the St. Louis media are covering the run of the city's own Dick Gephardt.

You can hear the story by clicking on "listen" above; you can also visit the website for On the Media by clicking here and looking for the story called "Homeboy Hopefuls."

On the Media airs on KWMU on Sundays at 9:00 a.m.
