On Oct. 2 at 9 p.m. EDT, vice presidential candidates are debating in the U.S., and federal leaders debate in Canada. We're covering both events live on DigitalJournal.com but we're also giving you the ability to carry coverage on your own blog for free.
Digital Journal – If you're interested in politics, DigitalJournal.com will be the place to be on Thursday night, as we're covering both
the U.S. vice presidential debate and
the Canadian federal leaders debate live. Coverage will include play-by-play action, analysis, insight and opinion, as well as live polls and photography, and interaction with readers around the world. Anyone can take part in the debate coverage, and we hope all of you will join us.
But in addition to coverage on DigitalJournal.com, we're happy to announce a service for bloggers and citizen journalists outside the site as well. For both debates, DigitalJournal.com is now giving away the embed codes for our live blog coverage, allowing you to embed full, as-it-happens coverage on your own personal blog or even through Facebook.
If you're a blogger or citizen journalist who doesn't have the resources or time to live blog the event on your own, you can embed our widget and get up-to-the-second coverage for your blog's audience. The event will be live blogged by DigitalJournal.com staff, as well as citizen journalists. And all coverage is going to be fair and balanced, offering both comments and criticisms of all candidates.
Furthermore, if you embed our live blog widget on your page, the coverage will be entirely interactive. Readers will be able to submit comments and vote on polls right on your site. You get in-depth coverage, reader engagement and interactivity at no cost and no effort. We got great feedback on
the U.S. presidential debate coverage last week, and so we thought this coverage could be extended to everyone as a service. Just because you might not have time to blog about the debates doesn't mean you have to miss out on having coverage.
Thanks again everyone for your interest in DigitalJournal.com's live blogging of the debates, we look forward to seeing you on Thursday night. For more info on the U.S. vice presidential debate please
