Election Essentials offers a preview of the week in politics

The Washington Post is providing Apple users with a customized look ahead at the week in politics on Apple News. The weekly news briefings, called Election Essentials, help keep readers on iPhone and iPad informed about the current state of the presidential race and what to watch as the week unfolds.

“Election Essentials is a multimedia presentation of news that adds context to the headlines people are reading in a brief, easily digestible format,” said David Merrell, Senior Mobile Product Manager at The Washington Post. “Displaying Post content in the native Apple News format is another example of how we’re creating experiences specifically designed for the device readers are on.”

Election Essentials is published on Apple News on Mondays. The video, graphics, photos, social media, text and story links featured are curated and written by the Emerging News Products team, which is responsible for The Post’s national tablet and mobile apps.
