At the ballot box, voters deserve the opportunity to make their choices with crystal clear information about the threats to their rights and freedoms posed by anti-democracy candidates. https://www.mediaanddemocracyproject.org/2024-election-coverage#Press#Democracy#Journalism 3/5

Journalists, defend democracy. Make threats to democracy clear! • Inform voters of the freedoms they will lose if the MAGA movement wins. • Abandon false equivalence between traditional and fascistic candidates. • Expose candidates who foment political violence. • Call out lies and bad behavior in every piece of reporting. • Prominently cover the Big Lie-fueled attack on election legitimacy and voting rights. We're demanding that newsrooms improve their 2024 election coverage: url: tiny.cc/prodemocracy2024

As professionals dedicated to appraising facts and reporting truth, journalists have a duty to protect the American voter from disinformation. https://www.mediaanddemocracyproject.org/2024-election-coverage 4/5

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.
