We are getting more press on bed bugs this week, presumably due to the excellent City Council Hearing held on three bed bug bills on Tuesday. I personally don’t feel I am seeing enough coverage of the event itself.
The Daily News weighed in today with “Boro with the most bedbug calls: B’klyn 42% jump in complaints to 311.”
Newsday is working the same AMNY story I posted about Tuesday.
And the New York Times has what is mostly a standard-issue article about a bed bug dog team. No offense to Bedbug Finders in Connecticut, but the Times should be dealing with the bills covered in the Hearing and the related issues in more depth, this week.
When the last hearing on Intro. 57 happened in 2006, there were news stories on NY1 and another channel, including interviews with people who testified, people who had had bed bugs, as well as Council Member Gale Brewer.
Even though Brewer held a press conference Tuesday before the Hearing, I have not personally seen any footage in the television news. Have you?
(Stay tuned for more from me on the hearing.)
