Good morning, ,
I was up early this morning to review the election results, and I have to admit I'm grateful the midterms are behind us. I don't usually write about politics, but this election cycle was too significant to ignore.
AI-generated deepfakes, an unprecedented influx of dark money, political gerrymandering, and targeted voter suppression efforts tested the limits of our democracy. While some of the technology is new, the playbook is not — our elections have always been fraught. But despite these obstacles, the system held, and voters made their voices heard.
Watching people cut through the political noise to find the information they need to make their decision is a great reminder of what we must do as writers: we need to add to the conversation, not the noise.
To make sure our writing serves our readers, we need to make our point clear from the very beginning and show them how we think, not just what we think.
