[IMC-US] FW: [www-features] IDEA: US election coverage?

[Ana Nogueira]

Hey, some thoughts below from global features group. Should we take on the
razorwire idea? Is there a team of people who can commit to editing this
site regularly over the next two days? I can help a little maybe but ill be
swamped at work too. Local, usimc, and global should try to find their
respective roles and not duplicate work.

What are we going to do about accuracy? I'm concerned that the 'anything
but Bush' politics has fuelled the tendency in the US left to see the
actions of the right-wing as part of a conspiracy theory. If publishing
during the US elections becomes too much like a newswire, I am sure the
accuracy will suffer. So, I support Shayne's idea of cutting the time
between submission and feature, but only if there are enough editors
awake to provide some chance that stories will be checked.
