American democracy is nigh defunct. The combination of social media, ad-supported digital content, and the ubiquitous smartphone has spawned a consumer phenomenon that is eroding the democratic mechanisms of journalism and public discourse. If we want a future with a public sphere that upholds American democracy, we need to rethink how we publish, pay for, and consume digital news media.
