HOW TO COVER A CAUCUS, PRIMARY, DEBATE OR CONVENTION

Caucuses can be a bit hectic by nature as they require people to walk around, engage in discussion, and entice passionate people to share their opinions. Take a look at what student reporters found out during the 2020 Iowa Democratic caucus.

Primaries don’t all look the same, since they’re still determined by state preferences. Generally, they are more like the general election process, so people will have to wait in lines and cast a ballot.

Debates themselves can be messy, but spending hours talking about policy issues can be boring. As a journalist it is your job to dive into the details while making them interesting and relevant.
