What to look forward to
Newsreel’s Midterm Mania will pair election-focused conversations with a no-phones party, featuring New York City Council Member Chi Ossé, Vox journalist Astead Herndon, political strategist Morris Katz, and NewsNation host Batya Ungar-Sargon. The program will cover local politics, AI data centers, and who leads the Democratic Party before the DJ takes over.
Inside the event
What better way to ring in this year's midterms than a ... panel and a party? Newsreel is hosting "Midterm Mania" five days before this year's midterm election. The event will feature programming about this year's election with New York City Council Member Chi Ossé, Vox's Astead Herndon, Morris Katz, the political strategist behind Zohran Mamdani's rise, and NewsNation host Batya Ungar-Sargon, plus several other guests TBA. Then, we'll ditch the mics for a party. We have one rule for this event: NO PHONES. Newsreel is a new media company building a healthier alternative to the feed, backed by the American Public Media Group. See you there!
