Midterm Elections

AP announces coverage plans for midterm elections
With 36 states holding gubernatorial contests and control of the
U.S. Senate in play, the stakes are high in midterm elections on
Tuesday, when The Associated Press will be uniquely positioned to count
the votes and report the results.
AP has reporters working in every statehouse throughout
the year, and more than 5,000 stringers will be deployed across the
country on election night to help AP
Election Services gather local vote counts. No other national news
organization can match AP’s
footprint, on-the-ground knowledge or the deep expertise of our
elections team in Washington.
AP’s coverage began long before the first ballots were cast. The national
reporting
team, headed by U.S. Political Editor David Scott,
endeavors to break news, while providing clarity and crucial context.
In the runup to Tuesday, AP will distribute stories on early voting and
key ballot measures, as well as explainers on what to look for on
Election Day and analyses on how the outcome will affect the final two
years of President Barack Obama's presidency and how the results may
alter the political landscape for 2016.
And as the votes roll in on election night, it's
AP that will count them. The news industry and the public turn to
AP, a not-for-profit cooperative, to provide fast and accurate results
on national, state and local races and key ballot initiatives. AP’s vote count
is considered by news organizations and the audiences they serve to be
the definitive source of race results.
“Calling races, from the national level to state legislatures, is a
vital function AP provides to members and customers,” said AP
Washington Bureau Chief Sally Buzbee. “Being able to accurately and
quickly call those statewide and state-level races is critical to their
ability to provide strong election night coverage for their audiences
around the world.”
Among other highlights:
- AP will provide high-definition video reports on races key to
determining control of the Senate and the governor's races in Florida
and Wisconsin. In addition, AP political reporters will give on-camera
analyses. AP Radio will broadcast live with results at 20 and 40
minutes past each hour.
- Exclusive photos of the elections are available via AP
Images.
- AP will also offer an array of mobile-friendly content, such as
an interactive map and a real-time documentary-in-miniature, using
Instagram’s 15-second video capabilities to focus on AP editors and
reporters as Election Day unfolds to give readers a better
understanding of how AP covers elections.
- As part of AP’s ongoing efforts to spotlight member coverage, AP
Mobile is featuring local
election
coverage
from
member
newspapers, including the Alaska
Dispatch News, The Denver Post, The Des Moines Register, The Wichita
Eagle, The Detroit News and The Charlotte Observer. AP will also
produce a dynamic feed of race calls, photos and videos on the AP
Mobile news app for iOS.
- AP Global Media Services will serve an array of visiting TV
broadcasters by operating live
stand-up
positions in New York, California, Washington and
Kentucky.

CNN Reporters in Full Force for 2014
Midterm Election Coverage
Network Brings Magic
Wall to Viewers’ Fingertips
Empire State Building to
Display CNN’s Election Results
With the U.S. Senate up for grabs, CNN’s Election
Night in America will provide viewers with the most
comprehensive coverage and up-to-the-minute election results from all
the key states and races across the country and from the Election
Center in Washington. From Alaska to Iowa to Georgia, CNN’s unmatched
political reporters will delve deep into the races that are pivotal in
determining the power shift in the U.S. Senate.
CNN anchors Wolf Blitzer and Anderson
Cooper will headline the network’s coverage, beginning at 5
p.m., along with chief Washington correspondent and anchor Jake
Tapper providing political expertise and analysis on
gubernatorial projections and candidate speeches throughout the
evening. Chief national correspondent John King will
once again utilize the “CNN Magic Wall,” featuring new advancements
that include improved visual performance and graphics customized to
communicate data results in real-time. Kicking off the day’s Election
coverage, Early Start anchors John Berman
and Christine Romans will begin special coverage at 5
a.m., followed by New Day with Chris Cuomo,
Michaela Pereira and Alisyn Camerota
at 6 a.m. Throughout the day, more than two-dozen reporters will give
viewers a behind-the-scenes look at where voters cast their ballots and
where the votes are counted. Viewers will also get a peek inside
campaign headquarters across the country of more than a dozen
candidates.
Chief political analyst Gloria Borger and senior
political
analyst
David Gergen will join the team to
provide in-depth analysis as exit polls are released and projections
are made. In addition, chief congressional correspondent Dana
Bash and chief political correspondent Candy Crowley
will offer their campaign experience and insight late into the evening.
Bash will also have rare access inside the war rooms
at both the RNC and the DNC as the political parties track results and
data from around the country.
CNN’s weekly host Michael Smerconish, whose
reporting is not wedded to ideology or party lines, will provide
thoughtful insights during the network’s coverage. CNN’s broad stable
of political commentators—including Paul Begala, Jay
Carney, S.E. Cupp, Stephanie Cutter,
Newt Gingrich, Van Jones, Kevin
Madden, Ana Navarro—will also be on hand to
offer unique perspectives as the results roll in and until the last
vote is counted.
Technology and Social Media
Continuing with the “CNN Magic Wall” tradition that began during the
2008 primaries, King will debut a new broadcast
companion, “My
CNN Magic Wall.” This new online application, developed by
Microsoft, enables viewers to engage with the network’s coverage while
exploring data and projections in real-time with 3D data visualizations
and advanced touch functionality.
Correspondent Tom Foreman will take viewers inside
the virtual Senate and the U.S House, allowing viewers to visualize the
balance of power in the Congress and foresee the consequences of a
Democratic or Republican-controlled Senate.
On Election Night, CNN will take over the Empire State Building to
display U.S. Senate vote results to New Yorkers first-hand as well as
to viewers nationwide via CNN’s telecast. As the Senate results are
projected and allocated to candidates, a vertical LED-illuminated
“meter” located atop the spire of the building will ascend in either
red or blue—reflective of the party. Once an illuminated color—red or
blue—reaches the top of the spire, that party will take control of the
Senate. Beginning at 6 p.m. and throughout the evening, viewers are
invited to be a part of CNN’s coverage by tagging photos of the Empire
State Building with #CNNElection on either Instagram and Twitter.

with insta-analysis in two “Cover it Live” Twitter streams — one for
House races, the other for Senate races — populated by Roll Call
journalists studying every last election return from Washington and on
the road. The Roll Call election maps will populate with the latest
results, profiles of winners and detailed district-by-district
snapshots as the evening plays out.
Editor-in-Chief Christina Bellantoni and Politics
Editor Shira T. Center will anchor Roll Call’s
first-ever Election Night live stream, giving updates as races are
called and diving deep into each contest as the night progresses. The
broadcast begins at 6 p.m. with a look ahead to Election Night with
Roll Call columnist Stuart Rothenberg of The
Rothenberg Political Report. Throughout the evening, the live stream
will feature dispatches from reporters on the trail and at parties all
over Washington, examinations of how the power dynamic on Capitol Hill
could shift come January with Senior Editor David Hawkings
and reports from members of the Roll Call Politics team on the contests
in play. Photo Editor Bill Clark will join the
broadcast from Sen. Mary Landrieu’s watch party in New Orleans, and
staff writer Niels Lesniewski and staff photographer Tom
Williams will be in Kentucky with Senate Minority Leader Mitch
McConnell. The broadcast will offer a peek inside an Election Night
newsroom, allowing viewers to see the action in real-time, and will
continue into the late evening as races are called.
“On November 4, CQ Roll Call will be a truly multimedia,
future-focused outlet. Our aim is for RollCall.com to be the
second-screen destination for political professionals, campaign junkies
and Hill staffers who want more analysis and detailed coverage of every
single congressional race,” Bellantoni said.
“Roll Call’s politics team has been reporting on these races for two
years, and we know these congressional campaigns better and in greater
detail than any of our competitors,” Center added. “Throughout the
evening, Roll Call reporters — who traveled to 22 states to cover 34
races this year alone — will share stories from the campaign trail.
Whether it’s a sleeper House contest or a Senate race that will
determine control of that chamber, we will have our audience covered.”
RollCall.com will be the go-to destination to follow competitive
contests, view photo slideshows from Roll Call on the Road campaign
stops and watch interviews with the candidates critical to who controls
the 114th Congress.
Viewers can play along before the broadcast with Roll Call’s Election
Day Prediction Contest. The contest is open now and will run until
6 p.m. on Nov. 4., when viewers can join the live stream to track their
entry’s progress.
This first-ever election night live stream will be in an embeddable
player and available for use on other sites. For more information about
streaming this in-depth analysis, contact Meredith Dake.
And for political junkies, Roll Call has released a new iPhone app
that will alert readers to race ratings changes the moment they are
published and offer even more of our respected campaign coverage and
trusted analysis. Roll Call’s Guide to the Midterm Elections app is
available now in the iTunes store.
