Clean Elections Concludes Successful Primary Debate Series Surpassing Reach Expectations

Published

on

Debate recordings and archives are another useful tool for voters in the primary election

PHOENIX, July 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Clean Elections, Arizona’s non-partisan source for voter education is celebrating the halfway point of its historic debate program.

This year’s series premiered in partnership with the Arizona Media Association (AMA) at BitFire Studios with hundreds of media brands leveraging the debate content including major debates being simulcast and all others distributed digitally throughout the state. Arizona voters made Clean Elections the state’s authorized agency for debates and voter education in a 1998 initiative.

“We are very pleased with the impact of our new debates format. The content reached more Arizona voters than ever in the history of our debates,” said Clean Elections Chair Mark Kimble. “Now voters can refer to the recordings as they make their final choices on their primary ballot on July 30.”

Federal and statewide candidate debates from the primary election season are archived on the Arizona Media Association YouTube channel. In May and June, these debates aired live in partnership with dozens of Arizona media brands reaching audiences via TV, radio, and print/digital. In addition, Clean Elections’ long-running legislative debate series is available on its YouTube channel. Arizona’s closely contested election for control of the legislature has been driving state political coverage. 

“Being a part of making Arizona political debates more accessible to voters, is very meaningful for Arizona’s local media community and a win for civic engagement,” said Arizona Media Association President and CEO Chris Kline. “The support we received from our member media brands was amazing in support of democracy.”

Alongside support from key media and advertising partners, the debate collaboration will produce approximately 30 political debates before the November election for both federal and statewide races plus several select county-level races. All debates were simulcast with Spanish audio translation and included an American Sign Language interpreter. General election debates will start in September.

Another positive addition this year has been a rotating moderator panel consisting of four experienced journalists including: Steve Goldstein, Richard Ruelas, Jim Nintzel, and Mary Rábago.

Primary Election Debate Highlights:

Debate content was put to use by local media brands 529 times, including TV broadcasts, radio broadcasts, and digital streams, averaging 41 local media partners per debate.Current digital usage logged over 16 total days of watch time or 408.1 hours, with more than 10 minutes of engaged time per viewer.Journalists from 28 media brands were on site for candidate interviews after the debates, including participation from local Arizona TV stations, radio stations, newspapers, magazines, and digital-only operations as well as visits from a French press agency and the New York Times.

“There is no doubt that these are the best non-partisan candidate debates in the state, they were far-reaching and the production caliber reached new levels. We look forward to delivering the same experience for the general election,” added Gina Roberts, Clean Elections Voter Education Director.

Just like the primary election, voters can submit questions for the general election debates via email at debates@azcleanelections.gov or by calling 602-364-3477 (toll-free at 877-631-8891). Debate carriage and coverage requests should be directed to Nate Kelly at the Arizona Media Association at nate@azmedia.org.

BERLIN, Sept. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — OneOdio concluded its showcase at IFA 2026, held from September 4–8 in Berlin. At Hall 8.2, Booth 217, the professional audio brand welcomed visitors, DJs, creators, and industry professionals for hands-on product experiences, live DJ performances, and interactive activities.

This year’s showcase highlighted OneOdio’s focus on professional audio and versatile listening experiences, with Studio Max 2 and A70 Gen 2 taking center stage.

Professional Audio Takes Center Stage

Designed for DJs, creators, and audio professionals, Studio Max 2 showcased OneOdio’s latest approach to professional wireless audio.

Alongside it, A70 Gen 2 introduced the latest evolution of OneOdio’s million-unit-selling A70 platform. Combining wired and wireless flexibility with LDAC, Hi-Res Audio, and up to 72 hours of wireless playback, it delivers high-quality sound while moving easily between DJ practice, home studio sessions, gaming, commuting, and everyday listening.

Taiwan-Founded Asia Talent Platform Cake Draws 20,000+ Job Seekers as AI and Cross-Border Careers Take Center Stage

Published

on

By

TAIPEI, Sept. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cake, a Taiwan-founded regional talent platform in Asia, hosted the Cake 2026 Career Festival on September 12 at Taipei World Trade Center, bringing together more than 150 leading international employers and technology companies and nearly 6,000 job opportunities. The event attracted over 20,000 job seekers for on-site recruitment and networking.

Nearly 70% of registered attendees had more than three years of work experience, while software and hardware engineering professionals together accounted for 42% of registrants, underscoring the event’s strong appeal among experienced technology talent.

Held under the theme “Re-skill in AI,” this year’s Career Festival also introduced Cake’s first AI Career Fair Guide, alongside a broader suite of AI-powered career services designed to connect online career exploration and preparation with in-person employer engagement.

AI Hiring Expands Across Industries as Cross-Border Careers Gain Momentum

One of the clearest hiring trends at this year’s event was the expansion of AI-related hiring across a wider range of industries and applications. Participating employers collectively offered more than 100 AI-related openings.

Viewed through NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang’s “AI Five-Layer Cake” framework, nearly 20 participating companies represented key parts of the AI ecosystem, spanning power and energy, chips and hardware, AI infrastructure, and applications. These included Schneider Electric, Nanya Technology, Vertiv, and Health2Sync.

The range of career opportunities is also expanding into emerging industries and overseas markets. The Taiwan Space Agency joined the event alongside the Industrial Development Administration’s aerospace supply chain and communications talent initiative. Japanese payments company PayPay Corporation recruited in Taiwan for the first time.

Employers Compete for Talent Through Higher Pay and Long-Term Development

As competition for talent intensifies, employers are differentiating their strategies across compensation, development programs, and early-career hiring.

More than 100 opportunities at the event offered starting annual compensation above NT$1 million. Singapore-based Titansoft offered senior software engineering roles paying up to NT$4 million per year.

Meanwhile, Delta Electronics subsidiary Cyntec introduced its Global Manufacturing High-Potential Talent Program, with annual salaries starting at NT$1.2 million for roles across manufacturing, equipment, engineering, technical functions, and quality assurance.

At the early-career level, Taiwan Mobile opened more than 20 internship roles spanning AI training data validation, cybersecurity, sustainability, and video marketing.

Together, these initiatives reflect a shift from filling individual vacancies toward building longer-term talent pipelines across different stages of a professional’s career.

Cake Founder and CEO Trantor Liu said: “For companies, talent competition is no longer just about finding people who already have AI skills. It is also about how to develop talent over the long term, across different stages of their careers. For professionals, true Re-skill in AI is not a one-time skills upgrade, but a continuous evolution throughout their careers.”

Cake Connects AI-Powered Career Services Into One Job Search Journey

Cake has integrated AI across multiple stages of the job search journey. Its new AI Career Fair Guide recommends relevant employers, job openings, and booths based on a candidate’s experience level, target industries, and job preferences.

The service connects with Cake AI, which provides AI-powered career strategy, job analysis, and resume review to help users clarify their career direction, better understand opportunities, and strengthen their applications. On-site services also included AI-generated professional headshots.

By connecting online exploration, job-search preparation, and in-person employer engagement, Cake is turning Re-skill in AI into a continuous career process rather than a one-time skills upgrade.
