Following the Money: Great Business Stories in an Election Year

The economy promises to loom large in the 2024 elections, meaning there will be no shortage of coverage opportunities on the business desk. SABEW’s next virtual training session will examine some of the big election themes that are developing as well as the role of money and influence in politics.

We’ll talk about political finance, and how you can mine stories from data and trends. This session will also give you ideas about business stories you can develop in your own market that are tied to the election.

Moderator: Lauren Fedor, U.S. political correspondent and deputy Washington bureau chief, Financial Times
