Lots of fun being back @sheffjournalism for International Journalism Week 🗞️

@itn's Washington News Editor, Jonathan Wald coming to us via a video has answered questions regarding the Trump campaign.

Mr Wald said the presidential hopeful's numerous convictions have become a point of pride for his base.

#IJW2024 @jonathanwalditn

Wald has also mentioned that he thinks the partisan media in the US, such as @FoxNews has "play[ed] a role" in trivialising Trump's criminal convictions.

Do YOU think the media should have a partisan say in elections?

#Trump #USElection2024 #IJW2024

Thats all for today from International Journalism Week.

Many thanks to our panellists: @DominicPenna @oksonata @mcgregormt @jonathanwalditn.

Many thanks also to the @sheffjournalism #IJW2024 organising committee.

@DominicPenna has weighed in on what he thinks the presidential election result will be, saying:

"My hunch is that Trump will clinch it."

The panellists previously spoke on the populist nature of the election.

Who do you think will be the new incumbent?

#IJW2024

@mcgregormt has a different view, he says:

"I think Harris is finishing incredibly strongly... I think Harris is going to win 292 electoral votes."

McGregor has previous experience working on Barack Obama’s re-election campaign in 2012.

#KamalaHarris #USElection2024 #IJW2024

@oksonata speaks on the imminent US election's potential to shape the Israel-Gaza conflict.

"The results of the election will have a big role to play in the conflict."

What role do you think Trump's or Harris' foreign policy will have in the conflict?

#USElection2024 #Gaza
