The deadline to apply for the #DemocracySOS fellowship is fast approaching! This fellowship is designed to help newsrooms reinvent politics, governance, and elections coverage with and for their communities. Apply before Feb.7: democracy-sos.org/full-applicati…

With this #democracysos fellowship, we envision a future in which newsrooms replace horse-race coverage of politics — which contributes to distrust — with more deep, ongoing examinations of social issues, including the health of our democracy itself. democracy-sos.org

So excited to be launching this fellowship in partnership with Hearken.

Congrats to the Headway team on this great launch.

Looking forward to this discussion.
