As part of our ongoing Urban Go-team: Inside Politics program, we are helping students find news related to political races and issues that are of interest to them. Each week we will be posting a number of news articles, videos, and graphics that help explain what’s going in Campaign 2016. Some of them will be local to St. Louis, some of them will be focused nationally.
This week, Arthur Lieber is helping scour the internet for interesting things to read. (In future weeks we hope to have Go-Team members contribute!)
