Be prepared for debate season

The political debate season is officially underway this week and Poynter is out with a primer to prepare journalists. 

While the candidates will get most of the attention, there will also be a lot of eyes on the moderators and how they manage the debate.

Journalists should take good notes as they might be asked to sit on a panel for a debate some day. There’s a lot to be learned from watching how other debates are conducted.
