Treat elections like they matter more than sports scores! • Prioritize substantive coverage of the issues that matter to voters' lives. • Make headlines accurate and informative, not clickbait. • Stop making predictions and pushing polls at the expense of issues coverage. • Celebrate and uplift election workers, voters, and the election process. • Don't set aside moral judgment when covering obvious lies and bigotry. • Hold politicians to account for their positions, statements, and behavior, as well as those of their party’s leader. We're demanding that newsrooms improve their 2024 election coverage: url: tiny.cc/prodemocracy2024

Our 18 guidelines encourage newsrooms to center fact-based reporting that shifts the focus from polls and drama to candidates’ policies, past governance, behavior and capability.
The guidelines fall under three categories:
1) Treat elections like they matter more than sports scores
2) Make threats to democracy clear
3) Protect Americans from disinformation
Voters need substantive coverage of the issues, not dumb coverage of who's up and who's down.
