i'm reminded of an editorial that appeared in zimbabwe which made that case. jamaican debates led to inquiries from groups seeking to follow suit in guyana, trinidad and tobago. the benefits of debates for candidates are many. debates provide a chance to speak directly to the electorate unfiltered by the media. candidates can reach more voters in one debate. the nigerian debates in 2011, i heard estimates that they were viewed by 50 million people. that is coverage that you cannot buy. candidates can connect with undecided voters were less likely to attend a campaign rally. debates level the playing field where one party dominates access to the media and they allow parties to show emerging leaders and revitalize the image of the party and show inclusiveness. despite the benefits, holding debates can be hard and many fail for production and political reasons. a challenge is to get candidates to commit to debating especially incumbents. in the u.s., we had that problem. on the production front, another example was in 1976, the audio went out at the fort-carter d

of an editorial that appeared in zimbabwe which made that case. debates led to inquiries from groups seeking to follow suit in guyana, trinidad and tobago. the benefits of debates for candidates are many. debates provide a chance to speak directly to the electorate unfiltered by the media. candidates can reach more voters in one debate. 2011, irian debates in heard estimates that they were viewed by 50 million people. that is coverage that you cannot buy. candidates can connect with undecided voters were less likely to attend a campaign rally. fields level the playing where one party dominates access to the media and they allow leadersto show emerging and revitalize the image of the party and show inclusiveness. despite the benefits, holding debates can be hard and many fail for production and political reasons. a challenge is to get candidates to commit to debating especially incumbents. in the u.s., we have that problem -- we had that problem. on the production front, another example was in 1976, the audio went out at the fort-carter debates. th

i'm reminded of an editorial that appeared in zimbabwe by citing debates in nigeria, and the u.s. and led to inquiries from groups following to seeking suit in tobago. at the same time the benefits of debates for candidates is many. debates provide the chance to speak directly to the electorat unfiltered by the media. th they can reach more voters in a debate. the nigerian debates in 2011, i've heard estimates they were viewed by 50 million people. so that's coverage that you can't buy. candidates can also connect with independent or undecided voters who are less likely to watch or attend a campaign rally, than the party faithful. debates also level the playing field where one party dominates the media. and showcases emerging leaders, and show inclusiveness. but despite the benefits, holding debates can be hard, and many fail for political or production reasons. universal challenge is to get candidates to commit to debating, especially incumbents. as i mentioned in the u.s. we had that problem with the 16-year gap. on the production front, the tv production front, another example
