Xavier student pundits

From Xavier University:

For the third year in a row, more than a dozen Xavier University students will be on the front lines when they will help anchor election night coverage for CitiCable on Tuesday, November 6. CitiCable, cable channel 23, is the government access channel for the City of Cincinnati.

The students, who are sophomores in the Philosophy, Politics and the Public (PPP) honors program, will do live reports and analysis from the Hamilton County Board of Elections during CitiCable’s election night coverage from 8:00-11:00 p.m. The coverage is part of the students’ assignment for a “Mass Media & Politics” class.

In addition to reporting election night numbers, the students will also provide analysis on Cincinnati’s city council race and key citywide ballot issues. They will also take a broader look at election campaigns and how they function.

“The students provide a detailed look at registered voters and how wards and precincts can play key roles in campaign strategy,” explains Gene Beaupre, director for government relations and PPP professor.
