Journal #4: The Presidential Election 2012

The Highlights to Last Night's Election

I read an article on what viewers of the 2012 presidential election liked best about the election coverage. This review was done by the A.V. Club and I found it really fascinating actually. I watched the election last night, as did millions of other curious Americans to see who would be their president for the next four years. I found some of the new technology used to show the public who was winning each state in the Electoral College to be quite interesting. I really liked how CNN used the skating rink outside of 30 Rock into a giant map of the United States and then filled in each state with the appropriate colors as the results came in.
