This fall marked our second U.S. presidential election as a company. We delivered nearly 100 stories to the newswire across a range of issues relevant to readers, spanning angles like electoral history, campaign spending, and education, as well as issues-based coverage focused on people within Native American, Latino, and Black communities among other population groups.
The ability to provide breadth and depth of coverage during this election cycle is a testament to our model, which focuses on bringing together in-house coverage from our newsroom with stories from content partnerships with The Trace, The 19th, Lyft, Instacart, Ballotpedia, Votebeat, and more. It all came together for a rich mix of content that offered value for all types of publishing partners and their readers.
