Helping Journalists on Iowa Caucus Night
Wednesday, November 9, 2011
Every day, voters across the globe turn to Google and YouTube first to research, understand, discuss, and share news and views about issues and candidates, but when an election day comes along, the impact and usage is always magnified.
One of the hallmark events of the US political landscape is the first-in-the-nation Iowa Caucuses. When Iowa voters head to their caucus locations to help determine the Republican nominee, the team here at Google will be working to help connect voters and interested onlookers to information from across the 99 counties of of Iowa. Google has consistently demonstrated our support for the news industry and our latest effort in Iowa reinforces our commitment to help journalists succeed online and off.
That’s why
we’re happy to announce that we’re supporting
, along with the Greater Des Moines Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Official Iowa Caucus Media Filing Center. From December 26, 2011 to January 4, 2012, the Iowa Events Center’s Polk County Convention Complex in Des Moines central space will be available for media as a home base.
Starting this morning, members of the media can now apply for access to the Media Filing Center for Caucus night. Live results will be reported on site within the Media Filing Center and there will certainly be a few Googley details to look forward to.
