Help Fix Media Now!
MAD will post a Good News/Bad News Substack every week!
MAD plans to publish good and bad examples of media coverage using the Pro-Democracy Election Coverage Guidelines we developed. We hope the media will make copious use of our guidelines from now until November.
Please read our inaugural post and subscribe to our Substack.
Media and Democracy Project’s own Brian Hansbury has been a guest on two podcasts advocating for Pro-Democracy Media.
Listen Now:
Freedom Over Fascism Episode 49: The Failing Legacy Media

What we are listening to :
What Works: The Future of Local News podcast: Episode 73, with Wendi C. Thomas of MLK50
