Media and Democracy Project

News and media affect our opinions, voting decisions, degree of civic engagement, and ultimately shape the health of our government and society. ​Deregulation and technological upheavals have left the crucial work of informing Americans in the hands of corporations with profit directives and political agendas. They often seek to entertain and distract, while failing to provide the accurate and relevant information Americans need to understand the world around us.  ... by developing actionable steps to demand more informative and pro-democracy media (see our Letter To The Editor Rubric).
