Keep Your Voice Down: Guardians of Democracy

Susan J. Demas

Doug and Alek are joined by Michigan Advance  Editor-in-Chief Susan J. Demas to discuss her recent column about the current state of affairs as it pertains to the COVID-19 pandemic, journalistic niceties, the shift in the way journalists operate amid an ultra polarized political climate, access journalism, and the highs and lows of mountain climbing (see what we did there?)
