    Attention all professionals in the realm of democracy and journalism! In the past few years, many journalists are rethinking how best to fulfill their critical role in democracy, reevaluating horse-race coverage, changing how they engage with their communities, and focusing more on community needs than candidates’ personalities.

    That work will become even more important as we approach the 2024 elections, and you’re invited to hear from journalists who are leading this transformation and how they’re doing it through pro-democracy, solutions-focused coverage that starts before Election Day and continues long after it is over.

    On August 29 at 1 pm EST, Join Kira Lerner, Democracy Editor for The Guardian, and Michael Tomasky, editor of the New Republic, for a discussion on what pro-democracy, solutions-focused political coverage means ahead of the 2024 election.

    The conversation will be moderated by Osita Nwanevu, contributing editor at The New Republic and a columnist at The Guardian. Our partners include: US Democracy Day, The National Press Foundation, The American Prospect, The Objective, and the Kiplinger Program in Public Affairs Journalism
