Fredonia election coverage/convergence style






It was a momentous election, and some monumental coverage by Fredonia students, IMHO.

Posted here are a few photos I took at WCVF while it was all going on. I meant to take photos at the Leader and WNYF, but forgot. The productions came off very well, I thought.

Election night was the TV station's first newscast of the year, so the atmosphere was a bit frenetic, but they pulled it off. ... At the radio station, it was cool to see the TV station's live-linked camera in the interview studio, while calls were coming in from Erie County, Jamestown, Manhattan and places beyond. Both stations had teams of people watching news feeds, analyzing when they could add states to each candidate's tally. The Leader -- in the midst of a redesign, BTW -- was supplying the photos as needed.

It was a great night, and a great first step for campus media.
