Calling it "an ambitious, multimedia project on presidential politics," The Associated Press Monday announced the launching of "Measure of a Nation," a reporting effort that focuses on the role of a presidency and its election in most people's lives.

"What happens on the 2008 campaign trail is only a mirror of the huge cultural story unfolding in America," A.P. Senior Managing Editor Mike Silverman said in a release. "The themes of 'The Measure of a Nation' are designed to offer insight Americans need to pick, and live with, a president best suited to these unusual times."
