Ever wanted to see how a news operation gathers voting information and keeps you up to date on the latest numbers, winners and developing stories on a night like this one?
WTOP takes you behind the curtain of our news production during Election Day for a glimpse of what it takes to keep listeners and readers informed and in-the-know in real time!
WTOP’s behind-the-scenes election night coverage was hosted by WTOP Feature Reporter Matt Kaufax, whom you might know from his segment “Matt About Town.”
Matt will walk you through the various parts of the WTOP newsroom and show you how everything combines into one well-oiled machine (with the occasional controlled chaos) to help democracy flourish.
You’ll meet some of the best reporters, producers, web editors and staffers at WTOP and see the news organization’s state-of-the-art equipment, data gathering tools and processes that anchors and reporters use to help call races live on the air.
