Scroll Down KYW: A Podcast about Philadelphia   /     Presidential elections in the media should be more than a horse race

Description

In a presidential election year, the political news coverage can be overwhelming. It seems like there’s a new poll every week, watching the stats like the score of a football game. But is the media actually getting the most important information out to voters? We're looking at a Biden vs. Trump rematch - what should we expect of the press in such a contentious and high stakes election? Dr. Geoffrey Baym is a professor in the Department of Media Studies and Production at Temple University's Klein College of Media and Communication. He helps us take a look at how the media at large has been covering elections in recent years and what they could do better.
