NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ESSENCE is taking its 2020 election coverage on the road with the launch of its new series, “24 Hours With_____”. ESSENCE’s news and politics team is traveling on the campaign trail with handpicked presidential candidates and launched its inaugural video with Cory Booker shortly before the Houston democratic debates.
Produced by ESSENCE’s News and Politics Editorial Director Yesha Callahan and ESSENCE’s video team, and featuring News and Politics Editor Tanya Christian, the video series will give viewers and readers of ESSENCE platform a behind the scenes look at what goes into a presidential campaign. Christian traveled with Booker as he campaigned in South Carolina, and got a chance to sit down with him to discuss his campaign.
“This is a great opportunity for the ESSENCE audience to get a closer feel for candidates and the way the connect with constituents,” Callahan noted. “To see candidates speak candidly, even while the cameras are rolling, will give viewers a chance to see what they’re truly made of.”
ESSENCE’s next 24 Hours With_____ video will feature Kamala Harris, as she embarked on Iowa during the state’s annual fair.
