This week, following the recent United States presidential election, the independent news podcast El Hilo, by Radio Ambulante, emphasizes the critical role of voters and their vulnerability to misinformation. The episode highlights the work of Ashoka Fellows like Laura Zommer, founder of Chequeado, and Clara Jimenez Cruz, founder of Maldita, who are working to strengthen democracy through better-informed communities. In this historic year of elections around the world, Ashoka Fellows’ work contributes to protecting the freedom of the press, building up healthy civic cultures, and bringing new ideas that lead to actionable policies that influence us all. Listen to the episode (in Spanish) and get inspired by their work.
