Accessibility:
Bites Media is dedicated to accessibility. We believe everyone requires multiple ways to access information. So read, click, listen, or watch what you need to get all the facts.
We highly recommend you do it all. Not only is it more engaging, but you're also asking your brain to operate and absorb knowledge in different ways. This has been shown to improve your memory and comprehension of the content.
Civics, the news, and Bites Media:
We believe the free press and public education are essential pillars of democracy. Without those two foundational institutions set forth by the Founding Fathers, our democracy would crumble.
It is our civic duty to be informed citizens that go beyond simply casting a vote.
All breaking news and current events have civic implications. That is why in many of our articles, we make explicit connections to civic concepts and constitutional principles.
By making these connections, you end our articles knowing exactly what a topic is, why it is important for your civic life in America, and what actionable steps you can take in your local or national community.
