NPR Election Map

The election map that's on our page from NPR is pretty cool...but we don't have as much stuff up there as I'd like. We haven't been doing very much reporting on the Presidential race in CT (there's not much going on) but I want to make sure we get up our WWL interviews with all the Congressional candidates...and the stuff about voter registration drives. I'm sending Michael Olson an email right now with a bunch of recent stuff. Pretty soon, he says, the map will reflect more on the House races.

Right now, he's talking about how much traffic got driven to KGOU in Oklahoma through the map when they featured a live stream of a Mike Bloomberg event.

Live from PRNDI conference in DC

Okay, so I haven't touched the blog since the middle of the Spring semester, but I decided to use it to report back on the PRNDI conference in Washington. I know that I will have at least one person watching it, Where We Live Producer Catie Talarski. I'm here in part because we're expected to pick up an award for "Best Call-in" talk show...the first national award for Where We Live.

Right now, Ken Rudin and Ron Elving from NPR are talking about the 2008 election. If anything interesting happens, I'll let you know...
