political reporting
News about elections
Political reporting is journalism that covers government, elections, policy, and the people who seek or hold power.
It ranges from daily coverage of legislative sessions to investigative work exposing corruption.
The term often carries implicit tension between neutral observation and partisan framing: Critics accused the network's political reporting of favoring the incumbent.
