The Media And Democracy Project

We promote civic engagement with the media reform movement in the United States, as meeting the critical information needs of citizens is an essential bulwark of an inclusive, representative democracy. We fight for truth, context and transparency in journalism. We counter disinformation, support local and non-profit journalism, and spread pro-democracy messaging. We are an all-volunteer grassroots community that formed in 2020 that: -promotes civic engagement to demand a more informative and pro-democracy media -believes it is essential that media meet the critical information needs of citizens as an essential bulwark of an inclusive representative democracy -fights for truth, context and transparency in journalism -counters disinformation, supports local and non-profit journalism, and spreads pro-democracy messaging -hosts thought leaders to discuss and highlight important problems and workshop actionable steps and long-term solutions (see list of special events here https://www.mediaanddemocracyproject.org/specialevents)
