If you were on the fence as to how best to follow election coverage Tuesday night, Apple might have you covered.
On November 6th Apple is replacing the 2018 Midterm Elections channel in the News app with Election Night. The updated channel will offer real time updates, news, infographics, and election results. The switch will happen at 8 PM eastern time.
Apple offered the following comment as to what to expect:
All the news coverage in the hub isn’t being driven by algorithms. For Apple News’ team, Election Night is an all-hands-on-deck type of situation involving real human editors. In fact, human editorial oversight is a key difference between Apple’s approach to news aggregation and curation, compared with competitors like Google, Twitter and Facebook — all of which have come under fire for their outsized roles in the spread of information, and, at times, disinformation.
The Election Night channel will replace the News Digest tab at bottom of the News app so it’ll be easy to find.
So, tune in, don’t go too nuts depending on what the results may be and happy Election Night 2018!
