Congratulations to the journalists who will be working alongside Trusting News to get on the record about the process that drive their elections coverage
Meet the cohort of newsrooms working to create an election coverage FAQ
Six news organizations are joining a cohort assembled by Trusting News to create an FAQ about their election coverage. Through the Clarify Your Elections program, newsrooms will work to tell a better story about the integrity and mission behind their election coverage.
Congratulations to these journalists and newsrooms!

This group of journalists will spend five weeks in May and June working alongside Trusting News staff to get on the record about the goals, processes and ethics behind their election coverage, as well as point people to basic election information.
By the end of the program, each newsroom will have a public-facing election FAQ that will share the goals and ethics behind their coverage and will help make coverage more accessible to their audiences.
