The Atlantic

CBS News will have a physical presence at what The Atlantic is calling its “Convention HQ.” The network is converting Blue Point Grille in Cleveland and the Field House in Philadelphia into a space where morning briefings with newsmakers, lunch forums and evening "Cocktail Caucuses" networking and interviewing events will occur.

Convention HQ is also the hub for The Atlantic’s newly expanded political reporting team.

Journalists from CBS News and CBSN, including “Face the Nation” anchor and political director, John Dickerson, will work with The Atlantic to participate in each other’s events and broadcasts in both cities.

The Atlantic is also teaming up with Refinery29, a digital media company for millennial women, to focus on the influence of women voters and candidates in this election. The two publishers are co-hosting two events to take place in both Cleveland and Philadelphia.

“Young Women Rising: America’s Next Top Voter?” explores “the power of millennial women at the ballot box” and “Pathways to Power: An Atlantic Forum on Women in Politics” will “explore avenues to inspire young women to build a career in politics," according to a statement.

“Pathways to Power” is underwritten by Running Start, She Should Run and All in Together.

A full list of The Atlantic's events and programs at the Republican and Democratic national conventions is here.

In efforts to expand its political coverage in preparation for the upcoming elections, TheAtlantic.com launched a fully redesigned “Politics & Policy” section in January, as well as its “2016 Distilled” elections hub.
