Covering a Native Son
South Dakota newspapers led with the news that former U.S. Sen. Tom Daschle is being tapped to join the Obama administration as secretary of Health and Human Services. The state's largest newspaper, the Argus Leader in Sioux Falls, reported the news from Washington and included reaction from health-care company executives. The Argus noted that Daschle has written a book about health-care reform, Critical: What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisis. On its Web site, the newspaper broke out duties of the cabinet post and career details from the South Dakota State grad. Daschle likely would be the first South Dakotan named to a cabinet post, the Argus said.
"Daschle returns to spotlight," said the front page of the Capital Journal in Pierre.
Daschle is a native of Aberdeen, where the American News posted video from a September speech in the city by Daschle and comments from former staffers.
