CNN Launches ‘CNN Political Ticker’ to Keep Finger on Pulse of Politics
Source: CNN Press Release With mid-term elections on the horizon, CNN’s commitment to providing unparalleled political coverage takes on a new dimension with the launch of the “CNN Political Ticker” on CNN.com, it was announced today by Sam Feist, political director of CNN/U.S., and Mitch Gelman, executive editor of CNN.com.
The CNN Political Ticker combines the reach of CNN.com with the resources and experience of “The Best Political Team on Television.” Correspondents, producers and editors will contribute from the field and give readers an unprecedented view into the day’s political stories that are not reported elsewhere.
“If it happens in the political world, it will appear on the CNN Political Ticker,” Feist said. “The Ticker will provide a constantly updated source of political news from our award-winning journalists. It will be a true destination for political junkies to bookmark and get their fix throughout the day.”
The continually updated newswire, located at www.CNN.com/ticker, will serve as an essential source for breaking political news, the latest poll results and political analysis. In addition to its availability on CNN.com, the CNN Political Ticker is available as an e-mail alert to subscribers twice daily. Users may also subscribe to a Real Simple Syndication (RSS) feed to receive the latest headlines as new postings appear on CNN.com.
“The CNN Political Ticker provides an instant connection to the best political team in the game, now and through the 2008 presidential election,” Gelman said. “As with many of our online features, our users take control of how, when and where they access and use it.”
