Information is the currency of democracy.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the fundamental importance of information in a democratic society. In a democracy, the power lies with the people, and for them to make informed decisions and participate effectively, they need access to accurate and reliable information. Information empowers citizens to understand the issues at hand, critically evaluate different perspectives, and hold their leaders accountable. Just like currency enables economic transactions, information fuels the functioning of a democratic system, enabling citizens to exercise their rights, shape public opinion, and contribute to the collective decision-making process.
