Graham’s New Matilda article “The Polls Have Barely Opened, And Already Trump Has Raised The Spectre of A ‘Stolen Election’… Unless He Wins, Of Course”, provides a detailed analysis of Trump’s election rhetoric. However, its delivery could be marginally improved for better clarity, accessibility, and audience engagement by incorporating the following measures.
- Engaging Data Visualizations: A dynamic swing state map as the one set as below picture that can alter depending on different statistical polling projections would be significantly more appealing than a table in the article.
- Concise Video Integration: One full-length video of the elections spanning over eleven hours seems lengthy and non-committal. A clip summing up the voters’ reactions and moments, and use captions to suggest what the video depict, and link to the full version.
- Fact-Checking Integration: Instant fact-checks of Trump’s claims would be more practical if a hover-over option were added. This would not disrupt reading the article, but it would still verify the facts, thus adding credibility to the article.
- User Polls: Allowing a poll on the most concerning issues, and linking the most related figure to a new related article would increase reader engagement and thus enhance the journalistic capacity of the article.
