Getting ‘Election Night’ Right ... Virtual discussion September 10, 2020 at 12 noon EDT

Burgess COMMENTARY
I am disappointed ... no, annoyed ... that very few in either the media or academia seem to appreciate the seriousness of middle class economic loss from 1980 to the present. The economy has become very profitable during this time, but only for the benefit of the owner class and rather little for the worker class. The biggest kitchen table issue today is not jobs, jobs, jobs but adequate income from a job and a basic income when there is no job to be had !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is building back better going to address this ?????????

Getting ‘Election Night’ Right

Description

The 2020 election is only two months away, and there is work to be done to avoid the journalistic missteps of the last presidential cycle and to ensure fair, accurate, and comprehensive reporting. What’s more: new and complicated factors have been added to the mix, from the global Covid-19 pandemic to widespread civil unrest.

What lessons has the press learned coming out of 2016, and why is it so crucial that journalists get things right this time around? How can they better contextualize stories about things like polling numbers and Facebook misinformation? What can journalists do to prepare the public for the likelihood that election results may take days or weeks to process after November 3? And in the event election results are contested, how can the press inform the public without inflaming tensions or heightening mistrust?

Join us for a virtual panel discussion moderated by Brennan Center President Michael Waldman as we explore these questions and more. He’ll be joined by journalists Stephen Engelberg, Abby Phillip, and Amy Walter.

This event is produced in partnership with ProPublica and New York University’s John Brademas Center.

Speakers:
- Stephen Engelberg, Editor-in-Chief, ProPublica
- Abby Phillip, Political Correspondent, CNN
- Amy Walter, National Editor, The Cook Political Report; Host, The Takeaway: Politics with Amy Walter
Moderator: Michael Waldman, President, Brennan Center for Justice
Time Sep 10, 2020 12:00 PM in Eastern Time (US and Canada) Webinar ID 928 4871 4003
