SAN FRANCISCO, July 11 (UPI) — Twitter and CBS News have announced a partnership to stream on Twitter CBSN’s live coverage from the Republican and Democratic national conventions.
CBSN anchors and correspondents Josh Elliott, Elaine Quijano and Vladimir Duthiers will originate the CBSN coverage from the convention hall in both Cleveland and Philadelphia.
“Twitter is the fastest way to find out what’s happening in politics and to have a discussion about it,” Anthony Noto, Twitter’s chief financial officer, said in a statement Monday. “By bringing the live discussion of the Republican and Democratic national conventions together with CBSN’s live video stream of the proceedings, we believe we’re giving people around the world the best way to experience democracy in action.”
“CBS News will have the highest quality original reporting continuously throughout both conventions — we are very pleased that reporting will be so prominently featured on Twitter’s live platform,” added CBS News President David Rhodes.
CBSN is CBS News’ 24/7 digital streaming news service.
