In addition to weekly candidate statistics and interactive charts, the US Election 2008 Web Monitor also provided a comprehensive and continuously updated full-text archive of media coverage on the US Election 2008. While the election archive is no longer available, an extended and refined version of the underlying technology is accessible through the Media Watch on Climate Change (www.ecoresearch.net/climate). A detailed description of the portal and its user interface components is available at www.weblyzard.com/interface.
