A day of change. Joe Biden has been sworn-in as the President of the United States. Follow along below with the latest from the nation’s capitol.
2 p.m.
President Joe Biden called for unity after being sworn in to office as the 46th president of the United States.
The ceremony was held outside the Capitol on Wednesday afternoon.
“The will of the people has been heard, and the will of the people has been heeded. We’ve learned again that democracy is precious and democracy is fragile. At this hour, my friends, democracy has prevailed,” Biden said. “This is America’s day. This is democracy’s day. A day in history and hope, of renewal and resolve.”

Over the last two weeks I’ve been running through my favorite reporting and podcasts from 2020. It’s been a long year, but one that none of us are likely to forget anytime soon. As the final part of this three-part, best of 2020 series I wanted to rewind the clock on my favorite interviews of 2020. There were more than 200 interviews in 2020 on FingerLakes1.com, and even with a pandemic raging we made it happen connecting with countless news- and policy-makers from around Upstate New York.
So, what was the big theme of 2020?
Some may point to change itself being the theme of this year. But what I learned in 2020, talking with hundreds of people is that change takes many, many years. And even in times of uncertainty or chaos so much remains the same.

This week we published our ‘Year In Review: Most Read Stories of 2020’, which was a look back at what you read and shared the most this year. See, there are typically two kinds of content that our newsroom works through.
First, is our evergreen or in-depth newsgathering. This includes written reporting, podcasts, exclusive interviews, etc. Typically, it’s the kind of stuff that doesn’t have a shelf life. Second, is the stuff that gets lumped into the ‘breaking’ news cycle. Those are the stories that get hundreds if not thousands of shares hundreds or thousands of interactions overall on social media, and can be read between tens-of-thousands of times if not hundreds-of-thousands.
