Andrea shows decisive methods for ensuring that democracy does not itself become a redundant part of history.

She believes that the sudden lack of funding from governments for the media has been in part due to the trail of misinformation being bandied around by poorly trained journalists and that the educational venue shift to post-secondary institutionalized journalism has taken away the true purpose and structure of journalism. These alone, she shows, are responsible for the decline of public faith in modern reporting. Andrea shows how freelance travel journal
