The Election Desk with Nicole Gallagher

Join us as we interview Nicole Gallagher, ABC networks Director of News Practices. Listen to how in the wake of the 2000 presidential election and the ensuing protracted vote recount, ABC News tasked her to organize the Decision Desk from the ground up. Now as a director rather than a producer, she handles the crucial task of delivering and explaining the team’s projections to the news team every Election Night. It’s a role that has become more challenging in the current times. Learn how she became intrigued by the forces behind popular movements, as well as questions of power and bias in the news media.
