Write Track Media Asked to Return to Automate Election Night 2002 Associated Press (New York, NY) – MILFORD, Pennsylvania – November 07, 2002 – When the Associated Press was looking for a way to parse and build live National Election result graphics on election night 2000, Write Track Media and AppleScript won their vote. On November 7, 2000, Write Track Media's AppleScript solution helped the Associated Press streamline the process of converting cryptic election data into easily handled tables that were placed into Graphics Files and sent to their web site.

The Associated Press raved –"The script prevailed and cut our graphic creation time down considerably. Write Track Media was extremely knowledgeable, creative and easy to work with throughout the process of building the script to our specifications."

This year we've been asked to return to help out again. Our previous script, now two years old, will be upgraded and tested to insure that it is up to the task of converting cryptic election data into readable form for AP graphics."We have had a long standing relationship with the Associated Press, automating parts of their news graphics web site and video processing", says Mark Munro, President of Write Track Media. "Being asked to return to help automate aspects of this year's election is a great privilege".
