The Outcue: Every election, we provide you the results... but find out what it takes to make that all happen
Listen now
Description
Every year, there is a primary and a general election. And this year will actually bring three elections to the Valley - with the Ohio 6th District US Congressional special election in June. While voting is usually a fairly quick event for voters, it takes our newsroom, reporters, videographers, web team, and people inputting election results weeks of planning and preparation. This week, Assistant News Director J. Breen Mitchell is joined by 21 News Director Sheila Miller and Senior Digital Content Manager Robert McFerren, who discuss their combined decades (and decades) of covering election nights. While most people think it is simply tuning in to watch on-air or online, find out what it takes to have all the results and interviews ready to air within a brief window of time. “The Outcue” is a 21 News journalist perspective of our top news stories. Each week, the 21 News staff, including reporters and managers, will discuss what goes on behind the scenes in covering stories for you - from the newsgathering process to getting the final product on the air, in this new video podcast. The podcast name — The Outcue — is a broadcast term for the last few words of reporting before the story ends, like, "With more local news, I'm [name]." We hope you enjoy it.
