Election post-mortem

After a short conversation about vote counting and possible concession speeches, Gary Graham said he thought last night’s election coverage went well.

Carla Savalli agreed calling the coverage,” A great package across all platforms. ”
In particular Savalli noted the increased and timely multimedia coverage, the great analytical narrative writing and the non-traditional story formats incorporated in the coverage.

There was also a short conversation about the treatment on the Russell story. Savalli thought that the headline could have had some more weight to it, but most agreed that the two-story package was a good way to handle the story.

Addy Hatch mentioned that Rich Roesler had gone a above and beyond on the Russell coverage by writing a full story for either possible verdict so we could post the complete story as soon as the verdict was announced.
