The 2024 elections will be a pivotal moment for democracy, as Americans vote in presidential, congressional, state and local elections and decide important ballot initiatives. With so many decisions on the line, how will the major news networks effectively cover the candidates and inform voters of the issues at stake? Join us as we host anchors from four of the most highly regarded television news programs in the country and discuss key topics, such as how the networks will choose which candidates and issues to cover; how they plan to deal with election misinformation and candidates who spread it; what the public needs to know about the candidates; how networks call the elections; and policy versus horse race coverage.
