When our mobile app team started planning for 2026, we asked a fundamental question: Will a dedicated multimedia hub create more value for our audience? We regularly hear from users who rely on KQED’s reporting but struggle to keep up when coverage is scattered across web pages, broadcasts, and newsletters. In response to that feedback, we built the 2026 Election Hub exclusively inside the KQED app. Designed around real news habits, it brings everything our newsroom produces for election coverage into a single home — allowing you to seamlessly scroll through articles, listen to radio coverage and podcasts, or watch vertical video. It combines clear ballot answers with deeper local context while cutting through the noise — with real-time push alerts delivered straight to your phone as key updates happen.
