ABC News reported that the economy ranks as a top concern among voters as campaigns race toward the midterm elections, which are early next month. In a piece titled What to know about the US economy as midterm elections near, the outlet's summary highlights the economy's place in voter concerns. The summary does not include specific figures or identify the voters it describes.

CBS News reported that Ken Salazar, a former U.S. secretary of the interior, shares his perspective on how Latino communities could shape the results of the midterm elections. The outlet's video, How the Latino vote could shape midterm elections, is described only in that summary, so the specific views Salazar expresses are not available from the listing.

The New York Times reported that Patrick Healy, an assistant managing editor at The Times, will answer reader questions on Monday at 11:15 a.m. In a post titled Have Questions About the Midterm Elections? Ask Us Anything., the paper asked readers to say what is on their minds in the comments. The summary does not say which topics Healy will address.

The three items differ in scope. The Times piece is an invitation for reader questions about midterm coverage, while the ABC News and CBS News items address the economy and the Latino vote as factors in the election. The Times item was published October 29, and the ABC News and CBS News items were published October 30. This account relies on the headlines and summaries of the three items, not their full text, and each outlet's material is presented as its headline or summary describes it.
