With its updated politics site and coverage plans, NPR is moving away from horserace coverage, something of a theme this election cycle.
“Picking winners is the job of voters,” said NPR svp of news and editorial director Michael Oreskes in an announcement describing the changes. “Our job is to deliver the most comprehensive issue-based election coverage combining local and national knowledge to produce stories that illuminate the choices voters will make.”
To that end, NPR Politics is going for a topical approach to coverage, one that will, as Washington editor Beth Donovan put in in the announcement, “tell the story of this election and voter concerns in ways that engage our audiences whether they love or loath politics.”
