Office Hours w/ Ballotpedia Founder and CEO Leslie Graves - Ep. #2

On this episode: The second installment of our new series Office Hours, featuring founder and CEO Leslie Graves in wide-ranging conversations about how and why Ballotpedia does its work, ranging from editorial decisions and coverage philosophy to broader questions about civic engagement. Each episode builds on themes from Leslie’s Pathfinder column for PBS/WNET’s Preserving Democracy initiative.  In this episode, we kick off a new effort to hear directly from our readers and listeners by asking open-ended questions in our newsletters. What motivates politically curious people to keep learning? Why do they seek out extra context, or unbiased sources? And how can Ballotpedia foster that kind of community?Catch up on Leslie’s columns: https://ballotpedia.org/From_the_desk_of_Leslie_Graves Full Office Hours Series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtP8LWIl9mMO2t_0SXnYhwMv6HHgIoL75 Complete a brief 5 minute survey to review the show and share some feedback: https://forms.gle/zPxYSog5civyvEKX6 Sign up for our Newsletters: https://ballotpedia.org/Ballotpedia_Email_Updates Stream "On the Ballot" on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.
