washingtonpost.com launches 'Issue Coverage Tracker' for campaign ‘08
washingtonpost.com has released a cool new “Issue Coverage Tracker,” an application that compares the volume of press coverage between candidates and the major issues of the 2008 presidential race.
The “Issue Coverage Tracker” is part of a new initiative to offer innovative, portable applications that allow people to take washingtonpost.com journalism and databases off the site itself and embed on their own websites or on social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace. Among the others that are coming soon is an “Election Tracker,” which pulls campaign information from washingtonpost.com events, financial and news databases. Other washingtonpost.com political applications include “Iraq Strategy” “White House Watch” and Chris Cillizza’s “The Fix.”
