News Workshop: Covering the 2020 Election
In conjunction with The Poynter Institute and Google News Lab, TAB will present a day-long workshop on Saturday, Jan. 11, 2020, to help journalists cover the 2020 presidential election.
Al Tompkins of the Poynter Institute will help broadcast journalists move beyond the usual horse race political coverage of polls and daily gaffes, to deeply and more meaningfully cover key issues of importance to voters.
