"Straight From the Trail: Part I"
Part I will featured Jill Zuckman of the Chicago Tribune, Steve Kraske of the Kansas City Star, and Joel Mathis of RedBlueAmerica.com. Zuckman is with the Washington Bureau of the Tribune and closely follows the McCain camp. Kraske is the Kansas City Star's premier political correspondent. Mathis is the blue moderator and blogger of Red Blue America, a political Web site that strives to present both sides of contemporary issues.
Jill B. Zuckman
chief congressional correspondent of The Chicago Tribune. She has
been covering national and congressional affairs for 16 years, including the last three presidential
campaigns and every midterm election since 1994.
Upon joining The Tribune in September of 2000, Ms. Zuckman followed the presidential campaign and reported from Tallahassee during the Florida recount. Beginning in January of 2001, with the
Senate's 50-50 split, she focused on the balance of power in Congress and with the White House, examining the ramifications of the evenly divided chamber and the eventual shift to Democratic control. Her work during this period earned her the Everett Dirksen Award for Distinguished Coverage of Congress.
During the 2004 election, she covered Sen. John Kerry's presidential
campaign, traveling with him throughout the country. A 1987 graduate of Brown University and former editor-in-chief of The Brown Daily Herald, she got her start at The Milwaukee Journal where she
covered the federal courts and federal law enforcement agencies. In 1990, she joined Congressional Quarterly's Weekly Report. There, she was responsible for writing about housing, education and labor
issues as they moved through Congress.
The Boston Globe hired Ms. Zuckman in 1994 to cover Congress. At that time, she followed Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole's presidential campaign in 1996.
