CNN's iReport Debate
CNN has announced a new initiative enabling viewers to post questions on topics surrounding this year's election, to be answered by candidates and their campaign officials. CNN's press release below.
CNN Press Release: CNN iReport,
the network’s global participatory news community, announced today the
iReport Debate – the first fully user-generated debate series of the
2012 election cycle. Through the iReport platform anyone can participate
by raising the political topics and policy questions that matter most
to them, debating them with the community, and submitting their issues
for response by campaigns, candidates, and other newsmakers.
"We know CNN will cover the candidates
and big political events like no other network can. But we also know
they're only part of the story,” said Lila King, participation director
for CNN Digital. “The iReport Debate is meant to draw out the voices of
the voters and make sure that they are reflected in the way CNN covers
the election."
For the next several months, iReport will take a three-phased approach to put voters in the spotlight:
1) Name your issue: From
now until May 4, voters can nominate the election issue that matters
most to them by uploading video or text iReports. CNN will then identify
their top 20 issues and allow users to rank them by importance.
2) Talk it out:
Once the community selects their most pressing issues, iReporters will
be invited to go head-to-head and debate those topics throughout the
summer.
3) Make them listen:
Leading up to the general elections, CNN will invite the presidential
campaigns to participate in an iReport Interview, where community
members will have the opportunity to ask questions about the top issues
raised throughout the debate process.

I have observed that the studio in Atlanta has reverted back to normal and is no longer decorated to be the Election Center, considering Mitt Romney is already the presumptive Republican nominee. In September once the Republican and Democratic conventions are over, CNN will unveil a brand new studio in Washington DC that will serve home to The Situation Room and State of the Union. It will also be home to the NEW CNN Election Center!
I for one am most interested about health care for seniors, and what is planned for the seniors. I would really like to the see the US Banking system adhear to the regulations of the banking industry and principaly the Wall Street Banks.
