1/4

Journalist can defend democracy. Make threats to democracy clear! • Inform voters of the freedoms they will lose if the MAGA movement wins. • Abandon false equivalence between traditional and fascistic candidates. • Expose candidates who foment political violence. • Call out lies and bad behavior in every piece of reporting. • Prominently cover the Big Lie-fueled attack on election legitimacy and voting rights. We're demanding that newsrooms improve their 2024 election coverage! url: tiny.cc/prodemocracy2024 Logo: Media and Democracy Project
