This year The Cord will be taking a new approach to our coverage for the Wilfrid Laurier University Students’ Union elections, both in print and online.
Our coverage kicked off Wednesday with live streaming of the All Candidates Meeting (ACM) at http://thecord.ca/wlusuelection. This site will act as our new media hub throughout the election period. This year we will offer live streaming of the Open Forum (Tuesday Feb. 2), as well as Election Night itself (Thursday Feb. 4).
For the first time ever The Cord will be hosting a Presidential Debate, which will take place on Thursday, Jan. 28 at 9:00 p.m. All debates will be streamed live it at thecord.ca and there will be a viewing party in the 24 Lounge.
We will use other means of new media such as Facebook and Twitter (@cordnews) to update you with developments leading up to Election Day on Thursday Feb. 4.
In addition to this you can still expect to find extensive coverage in our weekly print edition. This week look for presidential platforms and developments about the re-opening of board nomination packages. On Feb. 3 we will publish a special election insert with sit down interviews with presidential candidates, coverage of the Open Forum and candidate endorsements among other things.
