I cannot tell you how proud I am of the @19thnews team and the work we did covering the 2020 election as a three-month-old newsroom.
Just a sampling of what we did:
Just a sampling of what we did:
. @alanzawrites kicked us off with a thorough roundup of the 19 (!) issues and races we had our eye on. The perfect start to our coverage. https://19thnews.org/2020/11/2020-election-results-women-candidates-battleground-states/
White women, despite the reservations about Trump handling of the pandemic, racist rhetoric and general demeanor, stuck by Trump, @AmandaBecker reported. https://19thnews.org/2020/11/white-women-had-doubts-they-voted-for-trump-anyway/
. @bcrodriguez reminded us that, while the results were rolling in and tensions were high, women were keeping the country calm. https://19thnews.org/2020/11/nation-waits-results-women-election-officials-challenge-disinformation/
In addition to election coverage, @ChabeliH was keeping us up to date on women in the economy, which she has covered diligently in this first female recession. https://19thnews.org/2020/11/women-jobs-report-october-2020/
. @emarvelous, the first person to interview Kamala Harris after it was announced that she was Biden's VP pick, wrote about this historic moment: a woman of color in the White House. https://19thnews.org/2020/11/kamala-harris-vice-president-elect-2020-election/
Biden pledged to pass the Equality Act — which would ensure federal LGBTQ+ protections — in his first 100 days in office. @shoeleatherkate reported why that might be hard with a sharply divided Senate. https://19thnews.org/2020/11/equality-act-hangs-in-the-balance-as-democrats-falter-in-senate-races/
Ahead of the election, women and LGBTQ+ people were buying guns for the first time. @keaux_ told their stories. https://19thnews.org/2020/11/women-lgbtq-buying-guns-2020/
With all eyes on key battleground states, @marielpadilla_ reported that women dominated early voting totals. https://19thnews.org/2020/11/early-voting-battleground-states-women-2020-election/
The future of abortion access could lie in actions from individual states. @shefalil wrote about two abortion ballot initiatives in Colorado and Louisiana. https://19thnews.org/2020/11/initiatives-abortion-colorado-louisiana/
And the whole team came together to capture what Harris' ascendance to the White House means for women and LGBTQ+ voters. https://19thnews.org/2020/11/election-2020-kamala-harris-vice-president-elect-voters/
Absolutely none of this would have happened without the tireless work from our audience team @kassien, @SereenaOnSocial and @AnneliseMcGough. Or the incredible support from our product team — @yuncod, @abbyblachman and @emilyyount — and one-woman art team @onadesignhigh.
Where would we be without people like Jeff Dean or @joderlega keeping our doors open? Or the amazing support and eagle eye of @beatrizrosen?
Y'all...I just don't and will probably never have enough nice words to say about our EIC @andreamvaldez and her leadership and friendship. What the hell would I do without you?
