Every presidential election matters, but 2020 is a particularly pivotal test for American democracy. Free press is one of the main democratic pillars, but what does that really mean in the current times? And what stands against democracy defenders?

The role of journalists has been challenged by political pressures from many angles -- ranging from Trumpism and the pandemic to the aftermath of RBG’s judicial legacy and voting rights.

This roundtable conversation will uncover what organizations are doing to support the freedom of the press and effective journalism through advocacy, media amplification, funding, and training.

You’ll hear leading voices from Solutions Journalism, Front Page Live, Fundamedios, and Fund for Investigative Journalism weigh in on the issue and give some practical insights on the polarization factors in America -- and what we, as citizens, can do to bridge the gaps between us.

Speakers:

  • Stacy Whittle, Senior Vice President, Front Page Live
  • Dagmar Thiel, USA Office Director, Fundamedios
  • Mikhael Simmonds, Mid-Atlantic Region Manager and Multimedia Lead, Solutions Journalism Network
  • Eric Ferrero, Executive Director, Fund for Investigative Journalism
