Hearst Television pledged to do at least 12 minutes of nightly coverage of “election discourse” during the 30 days leading up to the 2014 general election and some primaries, the broadcaster said in a news release Tuesday. That will apply to each of Hearst’s 28 news stations, the broadcaster said. This year, the coverage will include an “In Their Own Words” feature, which offers up candidate information and video statements on political issues, that Hearst will make available online and for mobile devices 60 days before the election, the release said. Hearst said it’s partnering with fact-checking website PolitiFact for election coverage.
