For big events, there’s just nothing like print. Even as newspapers cut their print operations and embrace e-editions as a transitional measure, there’s just something that feels historic about putting a story on the front page, fretting over the headline and photo choice until it properly encapsulates a moment in time (or, at least, until there’s no more time left to fuss before deadline).
For the 2022 midterms, with high-profile races in a smattering of states and long vote counting times leaving some races still up in the air, that meant there were a lot of headlines to write Tuesday night that could still stand by Wednesday morning. Strategies vary from photo-heavy features on residents going to the polls, to as-updated-as-humanly-possible returns for the public record.
