Hello there, reporters! As I’m assuming you know by now, it’s an election year. A global one, in fact.
As we really swing into season, at least where I am, I thought I’d share some guides to fortify yourself and your newsrooms:
-
-
- RCFP – answers to legal questions, such as, can I film people coming out of a polling place?
- GIJN – tips for investigating candidates and rumors, and dealing with misinfo
- API – using 2023 election coverage to figure out a game plan for 2024
- RTDNA – free training on tools to use! I am part of this program, so let me know if you have any questions
-
I have some election-specific tools that I am pretty excited to share, so we will get to those in a bit. In the meantime, I would say, now’s a good time to take a look at what your role will be this election, and what tools you’d better equip yourself with now. Good luck to us all, reporters!
