NY&
A majority of voters believe American democracy is under threat. Trust in US government is near an all-time low point. More than ever, Americans need media they can trust to wade through the political polarization and provide information that fosters civic awareness and civil debate.
Introducing NY&, a brand new YouTube series from WMHT tackling the ways New Yorkers can be more civically engaged to improve their lives and communities. Twice each month, we deep dive into topics like media literacy, voter fraud, and other key ways New Yorkers can stay tapped in.
