Fun with the POTUS-tracker

By Alison Loat
Last month, the washingtonpost.com's former executive editor, Jim Brady, was at Samara talking about the various ways that news organization works to cover politics and public policy in a changing media environment.

In addition to the experiments he highlighted, it's worth checking out their POTUS-tracker, which uses the information from Obama's schedule to show how he's spending his time, with whom and where, as well as details on the what (where available). Issue-wise, he spent the most time on foreign policy, the economy and the catch-all "government-politics" category so far this year. VP Joe Biden is the most frequent Obama meeting attendee, followed by his wife and Hillary Clinton.

Anyone want to wager a bet on what our PM's summary would look like?
