Democracy Works

Penn State McCourtney Institute for Democracy

Building and sustaining a democracy is hard work. It’s not glamorous and often goes unnoticed in the daily news cycle. On Democracy Works, we talk to people who are out there making it happen and discuss why that work is so important. We aim to rise above partisan bickering and hot takes on the news to have informed, intelligent, and thought-provoking discussions about issues related to democracy. Democracy Works is produced by the McCourtney Institute for Democracy at Penn State and WPSU Penn State.
