Innovations in Election Coverage

The podcast highlights the role of innovative solutions in supporting under-resourced newsrooms to cover the election effectively. Through a Knight Foundation grant, efforts were focused on assisting approximately 500 small news organizations, enabling them to conduct rigorous campaign finance research and run polls for the first time. Notable achievements include helping outlets like the Haitian Times execute their inaugural poll, showcasing the potential for smaller organizations to harness data analytics to serve their communities better. This initiative reflects a broader trend towards empowering local journalism through accessible resources and technology.
