Election Coverage Ideas Part 2: Resources
If you read, you probably saw our suggestions about SNO tools to organize and format your election coverage. As a follow-up, now that you know the “how,” this week we’re sharing some suggestions about what exactly to cover – some from other organizations, and some from members of the SNO network.
Organization Suggestions
Let’s start with some general information and suggestions. Rather than reinvent the wheel ourselves, we’ve compiled a list of organizations that have already shared some great election resources for student publications.
-
– This resource includes story ideas, legal resources, information about student safety at political events, and many other helpful resources.
-
– Access some general tips for election reporting, some things you should consider before reporting, and a handful of additional resources.
-
– There’s a wealth of information included here, from story ideas to fact checkers to tips for getting interviews.
-
– When covering national elections especially, finding photos and media that you can use can be tricky. If your school is a member of National Scholastic Press Association, consider perusing (and possibly adding to) NSPA’s national election photo exchange.
