Vital Signs of DemocracyAuthor: Debilyn Molineaux & David Riordan
Every news story we hear on cable television, online news feeds or as a social media meme about democracy in America influences the future we create. That's what Vital Signs of Democracy is -- a quick indicator based on our unique narrative analysis that lets us quickly assess how we in the USA are weakening or strengthening our collective story about our democratic republic. Are the stories we are telling supporting democracy, autocracy or something else? Our podcast examines the latest competing narratives we feel will determine the future of our nation. And we end each episode with stories we've found that can contribute to all of us creating a better story concerning the health of democracy in America.
