NPR Unfiltered on the Campaign Trail

Traveling from rallies to conventions to debates, the NPR Washington and Election teams have witnessed countless photo-worthy moments on the ground and in the air during their coverage of the 2012 elections. In addition to their on-air and online reporting, our journalists often shared stories from the campaign trail through pictures in social media.

These special, behind-the-scenes and often candid images from cross-country travels (and more than a handful from campaign hotspots Ohio, Florida and Colorado) were shared with thousands of their followers via Twitter and Instagram.

For those who missed out or want to revisit these moments over the past few months, we've put together a slideshow of some of the photos they shared:

And while only a few days remain before the election night finale on November 6, we're confident there will be more social media posts to come from our NPR teams.

As you set your dial to hear NPR's live coverage, be sure to also follow NPR staff (reporting from 19 locations) for even more election night action on Twitter: NPR People and NPR Election Team. And as always, find behind-the-scenes insights from the night on our Facebook page and @NPR.
