How Radio Covers the U-S Election:  From November 5, 2020.  Coverage of local elections is very important to local radio stations all over the world.  Whether they provide full coverage as an election night show, special updates throughout the counting, or limit it to extra reporting in their newscasts, the coverage is important to listeners, radio workers, and to the reputation of the station in the community.  For educational purposes:  an examination of content from coverage of the U-S election on election night November 3rd, and follow-up on the morning of November 4th on radio stations in Toronto, in the U-S, and beyond.
