Open Letter Demands ‘Newsroom Reset’, Pushes for Adoption of Pro-Democracy Election Coverage Guidelines

Media and Democracy Project

Today, the Media and Democracy Project (MAD), along with 3,258 individuals, sent an open letter to executives, publishers, and union leaders of major media organizations urging them to adopt pro-democracy election coverage guidelines ( PDF ) that center fact-based reporting, push back against election lies, and uplift voting. MAD’s proposed guidelines respectfully request newsrooms switch their focus from polls and drama to candidates’ policies, past-governance, and behavior. “It’s time that newsrooms start to cover elections like they matter more than sports scores,” said Brian Hansbury, cofounder of MAD. “Our democratic institutions are under attack and it’s incumbent on newsrooms to recalibrate their political coverage to adopt and adhere to practices that are pro-truth, pro-voting, and pro-democracy.” MAD’s guidelines contain 18 recommendations organized into three categories—a focus on substantive issues coverage, extensive reporting on threats to democracy, and protecting Americans against the spread of disinformation. The guidelines provide specific actions reporters and editors can take to ensure practices that help voters make informed decisions at the ballot box. They include: 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 issue 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; Expose candidates who foment political violence. The open letter emphasizes how crucial it is for voters to understand what’s at stake in November and the damaging impact that election lies have already had on our democracy. For instance, lies about the 2020 election have caused a spike in death threats for election officials and poll workers, making it difficult to recruit and retain them. Half of all female state legislators are considering leaving public office due to increased intimidation. Meanwhile, Trump allies are preparing plans like Project 2025, which would harm millions of Americans and cripple our democratic system. With 3,258 signatures and counting, the letter includes signatories such as Ruth Ben-Ghiat, NYU Professor of History and author of Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present and the Lucid newsletter, who stated, "It's never been more important for news organizations to analyze the threats to U.S. democracy in clear and precise terms. Americans deserve to know the scale and nature of the challenges we face this November and beyond." The rights and freedoms that Americans cherish are at risk. As an essential pillar of democracy, journalists and the news media have a moral responsibility to inform Americans about anti-democratic extremist movements. Another signatory, Mark Jacob, former Chicago Tribune editor and author of the Stop the Presses newsletter, said, “The news media know it's their job to warn people when a hurricane is bearing down on them. But when a fascist assault on our democracy is bearing down on them, the media sometimes think it would be biased to warn people about it. That has to change before it's too late.” It’s more important than ever for journalists, editors, and their publishers to step up and put the public before profit, democracy before tyranny, and truth before lies. "Democracy is at stake–and as the open letter so powerfully demands, we need our news media to step up and be responsible,” said Norm Ornstein, political scientist and Senior Fellow Emeritus at the American Enterprise Institute. To learn more about this effort advocating for pro-democracy election coverage, and see who else signed the open letter visit MAD’s website. The Media and Democracy Project: MAD is a non-partisan, all-volunteer, grassroots organization focused on strengthening a free and independent media in the public interest. MAD aims to improve our national discourse so that American voters can engage in informed decision-making. As part of that goal, MAD has an interest in the responsibility of journalists and media to report fully, accurately, and fairly on the electoral process and the outcome of elections.

Anthony's decision to launch "Greed, Guts and Glory" is a testament to his commitment to sharing his knowledge and experiences with the next generation of investors. Reflecting on his journey, Anthony recalls a story about Henry Ford, who chose to retain an employee despite a costly mistake, valuing the lessons learned over the financial loss.

WagerWire

Wire Industries, Inc., a technology and media company that owns and operates sports betting marketplace WagerWire, fantasy sports marketplace FantasyWire, and media division Wire Media Group (WMG), announced today it has hit a significant milestone in the growth of Wire Media Group. WMG content has been viewed over 250M times in the last year and has been featured in the New York Post, USA Today, Bleacher Report, ESPN, Bloomberg and CNBC, among others, collectively reaching 50M+ sports fans with its own content in the first half of 2024. The Wire Media Group has rapidly risen in popularity, fueled by a community of sports fans and bettors enjoying viral stories of life-changing bets trading on the WagerWire marketplace, daily sports and betting news and analysis, and pop culture. “The Wire” is a content collective of top-tier creators and networks as well as original in-house content, with partners including Betr Media, Pro League Network (PLN), The Hammer Betting Network, East Coast Sports Investors, WalterPicks, and Brad Evan’s The Gaming Juice. The WMG content technology team, led by Allan Valle, has built and trained an A.I. content aggregation and amplification system to rapidly clip and syndicate partner content across mediums and channels. The cutting-edge system analyzes trends and cross-targets audiences, breaking partner networks and creators out of their algorithmic silos, resulting in increased discoverability. In addition to engaging content, WagerWire’s popular betting free tools including their Bet Value Calculator and Bet Graphs amass thousands of hits a day. “We create content by fans, for fans and The Wire Media Group was engineered to have something to offer to everyone,” said Travis Geiger, Co-founder and Chief Experience Officer of Wire Industries, Inc. “It’s weird to us that companies who literally profit off their player’s losses are out there giving picks and advice – and worst of all, paying lip service to the idea of responsibility while laughing out loud about degeneracy. People are smart enough to see through the shill. The Wire doesn’t have a hidden agenda. We answer to our community and no one else and we have the freedom to be creative and honest in all we do. What we offer is different, and we’re pleased at the positive response we’ve received to date.” The Wire Media Group also operates the company's affiliate marketing division, The Sports Influencers, which has seen tremendous growth in the first half of 2024. The program has seen 378% growth since the start of the year, growing 40% month-over-month, and has affiliate deals with FanDuel, Caesars, BetMGM, and Betr, to name a few. The Sports Influencers are operating in 23 states, Washington DC, Ontario and Puerto Rico. WagerWire recently won the EGR Rising Star of the Year award and was shortlisted for Rising Star of the Year and Affiliate of the Year at SBC North America, as well as Best X Presence at the Hashtag Sports Awards. WagerWire was also named to Business Insider’s list of 25 promising sports startups to watch, according to VC’s and other top investors. FantasyWire was shortlisted as Innovation of the Year by the Fantasy Sports and Gaming Association (FSGA). WagerWire burst onto the scene in 2022 with the announcement of a high-profile seed round led by Miami Marlins co-owner Roger Ehrenberg and including Betr/Simplebet Founder Joey Levy’s 305 Ventures, NBA All-Star Richard Jefferson, famed ‘Big Short’ investor Danny Moses, sports executive David Meltzer, and more.

Smithsonian’s National Postal Museum to Open Voting by Mail Exhibition

National Postal Museum

Voting by mail did not start during the Covid-19 pandemic. It began in various forms during the Civil War when soldiers could not get home to vote and it picked up steam again during World War II for the same reason. Mail has been and continues to be a method for providing citizens with access to election information and materials. Today, every state has some form of voting by mail. The National Postal Museum’s exhibition “Voting by Mail: Civil War to Covid-19” explores the significant role of voting by mail in America’s democracy. Over time, legislation for both military and civilian voting using the mail has been shaped by events and politics with provisions added, removed and amended. On view Saturday, Aug. 24, through Feb. 23, 2025, “Voting by Mail” invites visitors to explore the changing logistical and political reasons for the various ways mail has been part of the election process, and how it continues to define where, when and how Americans vote in elections. Early methods for absentee voting that used the mail enabled military members to participate in elections when wartime deployments took them away from their polling precincts. The Civil War and World War II caused many states to temporarily establish or expand absentee voting for significant numbers of voters in the military. Allowances for civilians voting absentee grew in the early 20th century and in 1901 Kansas became the first state to permit voting by mail but limited this to railroad employees traveling for work. Since the 1980s, in addition to in-person voting, some jurisdictions, including eight states and the District of Columbia, have instituted all-mail voting with the automatic distribution of ballots to registered voters. The public health emergency of the Covid-19 pandemic brought about temporary procedures, new laws and debates over using the mail for voting. Objects on display focus on the early history of voting by mail in the U.S. and ways the mail is used in modern elections. A Civil War envelope for mailing soldiers’ votes on a tally sheet enabled deployed military service members to participate in the Ohio state election of 1864. World War II absentee voting materials developed for U.S. Armed Forces, including the design of a blank ballot allowed the government to distribute them before specific candidate names became available, thus accommodating weeks-long mailing time for U.S. forces overseas. Examples of modern election mail including an absentee ballot, an envelope for a mail-in ballot, an official election information guide, and notices announcing elections. “We are excited to present the role of mail in U.S. elections for government representatives serving the American public,” said Elliot Gruber, director of the museum. “The history of mail as an official conduit of election information and election voting materials has long been part of our nation’s history.” The exhibition is supported by public and exhibition programming, as well as educational resources for teachers. A special website makes available the stories, themes and historical artifacts presented in the exhibition.
