The station uses recorded poll questions and instructions to determine public opinion through the telephone. However, it still has to be resolved whether the information gathered via interactive journalism can be classified as news. One source of concern is that technology may introduce significant bias since the method calls for touch-tone telephones when 20% of the state still owns rotary dial phones.Citation DetailsTitle: KMOV poll turns viewers' opinions into instant news.
