No laptops allowed: The UK Parliament’s voting process is overwhelmingly analog. Here’s how news organizations like Reuters report the results as fast as possible ReutersBackstory
LONDON - The world’s press packed in a gallery in the British House of Commons neo-gothic debating chamber late on Tuesday, watching out for clues of the outcome of a vote that would shake markets and deepen the Brexit turmoil.
Covering that voting, for Reuters and other journalists there, involves a mix of old-school observation with some of the fastest technologies available to transmit the text and visuals to trading floors and media organizations. No laptops are allowed in the chamber, but mobile phone alerts and keyboard shortcuts quickly passed the results back to the newsroom where banks of reporters and editors were waiting to pump out alerts to trading desks and newsrooms. Competition is fierce and winning is measured in a matter of milliseconds.
