American democracy is currently facing a critical moment in history. Repeated headlines warn that democracy is at stake in the upcoming election, yet voter disinterest continues. Decreasing faith in the news media, attacks on press freedom, restrictions on civil and human rights including censorship of books, and manipulation of history and education are factors contributing to Americans’ pessimism about the government. This unique version of The Progressive offers strategies for understanding the various factors eroding our democratic institutions and presents viewpoints that question difficult, seemingly unsolvable issues. The writers featured in this publication demonstrate a revived dedication to ethical journalism, a free press, and a bravery in the face of cancel culture. In today’s modern media landscape, there is a need for critical thinking skills, media awareness, and access to accurate information that goes beyond biased sources, preconceived notions, and sensationalized political coverage. Despite the complex rapport between politicians and other influential figures with factual accuracy, the general public still relies on the media to collect and analyze information, and to protect the public’s right to be informed. The joint compilation by Progressive-Project Censored provides valuable assistance for getting ready for elections and introduces fresh methods for understanding news and political communication in our society.
