Season 2 Episode 1: From the Bullpen to Air Force One: The Value of a Free Press with Margaret Talev

If We Can Keep It

In Season 2, Keep Our Republic's If We Can Keep It podcast is sitting down with exceptional journalists from around the country. Join host Ari Mittleman as we hear from the nation's top political correspondents about the state of news in America, and how it affects our elections, voter trust, political violence, and more ripped-from-the-headlines topics at the center of Keep Our Republic's mission. In this first episode, Ari sits down with Margaret Talev, director of the Institute for Democracy, Journalism and Citizenship at Syracuse University. Margaret shares entertaining and engaging insights from her 30 years in political journalism, from the local newsroom in Tampa, to covering the Obama and Trump administrations, and Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign as a White House correspondent. We dive deep on why a free press is so critical to the health of the Republic, and how to reverse the trend of tribalization dominating our political discourse.
