🪡 NEW PIECE: With election day one week away, we wanted to know how the New York Times was preparing to cover the results. In a piece we published earlier this week, Eduardo Suárez spoke with deputy graphics editor Wilson Andrews who explained the newspaper's plans. Andrews has led election results operations for the past eight years and is coordinating this year's news coverage, including the needle, a forecasting model that predicted a Donald Trump victory in 2016, hours before the AP called the race for him. A key quote: "If you come to us on election night, not only will you see the live results, but you’ll also be seeing how certain types of counties are voting and what kind of shifts we are seeing in the presidential race from 2020," Andrews says in the article.  https://lnkd.in/enKk3d4m

How does The New York Times aim to guide readers through America’s most uncertain election? One of its top editors explains it in this new piece With election day one week away, we wanted to know how the New York Times was preparing to cover the results. In a piece we published earlier this week, deputy graphics editor Wilson Andrews explains the newspaper's plans. Andrews has led election results operations for the past eight years and is coordinating this year's news coverage, including the needle, a forecasting model that predicted a Donald Trump victory in 2016, hours before the AP called the race for him. 👨🏼💻 Four years ago, in a race with a record number of absentee ballots, the Times only ran election needles for three states. This time Andrews and his team are still pondering how many needles they’ll deploy on election night. Ideally, they’d like to forecast the presidential race and include seven more needles, one for each of the seven swing states. They are also publishing insights from experts in real-time and preparing for a longer vote count in some of the swing states. A key quote: "If you come to us on election night, not only will you see the live results, but you’ll also be seeing how certain types of counties are voting and what kind of shifts we are seeing in the presidential race from 2020," Andrews says in the article.

🦅 NEW PIECE: As the US election draws near, our colleague Matthew Leake spoke to several experts who study the spread, consumption and impact of online misinformation that argue that online misinformation is not proven to have the profound impact on election outcomes or political beliefs that is often suggested by some media coverage. A key quote: “Political or persuasive content has very small effects on people's political attitudes or voting choices or behaviour,” says Jennifer Allen, a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Pennsylvania. “There is this assumption that people see misinformation and it causes them to take all these crazy actions. And I think both of those things are in question. One, people don't really see that much misinformation. And two, it's not necessarily driving them to take these actions that they wouldn't otherwise take.” https://lnkd.in/ezZgqk6X
