This is a photo of reporters and fact-checkers watching the debate at the University of Denver. The corresponding article addresses how fact-checkers were among the toughest critics of the debate, as both candidates strayed from the truth.
The photo does a great job at showing the extent of coverage goes into such a large event. The repetition of Romney's face on numerous large television screens adds to this effect, since it seems like everyone is really "tuned-in". Also, the photographer took the photo from above, which I felt was to show how many people were working and reporting, not necessarily to make them seem small and unimportant.
This photo from the New York Times conveys a completely different atmosphere than the first photo. The photo places the viewer right in the scene, unlike the first photo, which took more of an observational approach. Composition-wise, the photographer utilized rule of thirds and great perspective with depth of field. Overall, this photo is much more laid back and approaches the debate watch with a casual vibe.
