Rolling event coverage
A liveblog is a running online commentary on an event as it unfolds—a sports match, political debate, or breaking news story.
Updates appear in reverse chronological order, with the newest at the top: I followed the election results through the Guardian's liveblog.
The verb means to provide such coverage: She liveblogged the trial from the courthouse.
