Journalists Around Country Join Our Super Bowl Blitz

Journalism folks from California to New England are joining our Super Bowl Blitz. The effort, launched on Tuesday, aims to find out which members of Congress are attending this year’s Super Bowl and how they got their tickets. We know the NFL sets aside a large number of tickets for public officials and corporations to buy at face value. And those tickets can be used to give congressmen perks. But we don’t know yet who’s getting what. That’s where you come in.

Over at California Watch reporter Chase Davis published the call-list for California, and is asking his readers to report in to him. Wisconsin representatives and senators will be dialed by folks at the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Reporting. The New England Center for Investigative Reporting has almost made it through Massachusetts, thanks to the hard work of Lyle Moran and Sydney Lupkin. They’re still looking for an answer from Senator-elect Scott Brown.

Why should they get them at face value when you or I couldn't?
