Rhode Island College is again partnering with the National Commission on Presidential Debates to serve as host for DebateWatch, a program in which participants are given a direct voice in the political campaign process. Political reporter Jim Hummel will moderate. The only statewide forum of its kind, DebateWatch will bring citizens from across Rhode Island and neighboring states to campus to view the first televised presidential debate. Members of the news media will hold a political roundtable dialogue with invited past and present politicians and political analysts, and the audience at large, to discuss a variety of issues tied to this year’s election. Following the town forum, attendees will watch the debate together then share their reactions through focus group participation. The results will be reported to the commission and included in press releases that synthesize the national results.
7 pm – Town Hall Meeting
9 pm – Viewing of Televised Presidential Debate
10 pm – Focus group analysis and discussion
