BuzzFeed Tries Its Hand at Election Night Coverage
Social publisher teams up with Comedy Central for #UnSuperTuesday
Joining what seems to be a growing trend for online political outlets, the social publishing pioneers at BuzzFeed ventured into new territory last evening (April 24), teaming up with Comedy Central’s Indecision team to livestream Tuesday night's Republican primary returns.
Billed as #UnSuperTuesday, the one-hour webcast poked fun at the anti-climactic nature of the evening's primaries, with Mitt Romney already cemented as the presumptive nominee. Situated at a bare bones table surrounded by laptops, Comedy Central’s editorial producer for Indecision, Mary Phillips-Sandy, joined BuzzFeed editor in chief Ben Smith and political reporter and Twitter addict Zeke Miller for 60 minutes of lo-fi (audio problems left viewers to deal with an echo problem for the first 15 minutes) analysis.
