Journalists, defend democracy! Protect Americans from disinformation! • Avoid euphemisms that conceal and normalize extremism. • Explain that disinformation by MAGA is a strategy. • Don't platform liars or act as stenographers for strategic MAGA lies. • Include a public figure's history of coup participation when quoting them. • Inoculate Americans against a repeat of the Big Lie strategy. • Build public trust by explaining the newsroom decisions you make about elections. • Have a plan for handling deepfakes. We're demanding that newsrooms improve their 2024 election coverage: url: tiny.cc/prodemocracy2024 Media and Democracy Project logo
