Help Fix Media Now!
MAD continues to post a Good News/Bad News Substack every week!
We are holding true to our commitment to publish good and bad examples of media coverage using the Pro-Democracy Election Coverage Guidelines we developed. Please take a look every week and subscribe to our Substack. As a bonus, we are now on TikTok.
Please vote on our Bright Spots in Journalism. The Bright Spot vote can be found on MAD’s Substack.
These outlets are delivering good pro-democracy journalism and achieving the highest standards for election coverage. Please read about our nominees for the Bright Spot Award and register your VOTE here: Election Coverage Bright Spot
This month’s featured journals practice journalistic ethics and vow to defend democracy. The nominees are Colorado Newsline, The Kansas Reflector, and Charlotte Observer.
Action:
Please call your Senators and ask them to support or co-sponsor the PRESS Act.
Support the PRESS Act (S 2074) a bi-partisan, nationwide law to shield journalists from surveillance.
Call or write your senators to ask them to support the bill or text PAIQYM to 50409. See our You Can Help Protect Journalists blog post for more info.
The bill to protect journalists passed the House with strong bi-partisan support. Please let your Senators know you care about journalism, and the PRESS Act and ask them to do the same.
