The Future Looks Like Us

We wanted to do a fun community building thing each month called the Media Club! Sort of like a book club but we'll feature other types of media as well, like a podcast or a documentary. Whatever it is, we want to feature something that educates, entertains and brings people together. Our pick this month is Representative John Lewis' graphic novel March. This wonderful trilogy, co-written with Andrew Aydin, outlines Lewis' involvement in the civil rights movement in the 1960s

As I was going over the US's system of checks and balances, there were a lot of references to another check: the Press. The Press (or Media) plays a large part in political discourse across the country because it bridges the gap between the government and its people. It makes the inner workings of our legislative process accessible to ordinary people. It highlights the most pressing issues and helps the masses keep track of the political happenings we should pay attention to.
