Twitter & CBS News Align for Coverage of Democratic Presidential Debate

BURBANK: Twitter and CBS News have entered into a partnership surrounding the network's broadcast of the second Democratic presidential debate, which will air live on November 14.

The debate will begin airing at 9 p.m. on CBS and across all CBS News platforms. Through the partnership, Twitter will provide CBS News with real-time data and insights, as well as live reactions and questions from voters across the country—some of which may be incorporated into the debate. CBSN, which is CBS News's live streaming network, will also incorporate instant reactions into its coverage of the event.

“CBS News is so pleased to partner with Twitter on our Democratic debate,” said CBS News President David Rhodes. “Our people have worked with Twitter’s unique curator tools to measure changing responses to what viewers will see on the screen. Twitter integration will inform our coverage and integrate seamlessly with CBSN, our always-on digital network.”

“As the 2016 presidential election cycle begins to heat up, we’ve seen more and more voters across the country join the live presidential debate conversation on Twitter, which is why we're incredibly excited to be partnering with CBS News in Iowa,” added Adam Sharp, the head of news, government and elections at Twitter.
