This contest gives people the chance to be discovered and have their voices heard."
As the recent Occupy protests demonstrate, Americans are increasingly looking for options beyond mainstream news, and at the same time, many Americans feel as if their own perspectives are ignored or undervalued by the media. The American Pundit competition is designed to find and promote the voice of the everyday American.
