pro-democracy media

Type: Concept

As of November 2026, pro-democracy media has been mentioned in one podcast episode on Pod Save America (Jan 2026). The hosts argue that building pro-democracy media is necessary to counter right-wing narratives and support democratic resistance on the ground.

Media democracy is a democratic approach to media studies that advocates for the reform of mass media to strengthen public service broadcasting and develop participation in alternative media and citizen journalism in order to create a mass media system that informs and empowers all members of society and enhances democratic values.
