Annika Savill, Executive Head of the UN Democracy Fund admits that the word "democracy" doesn't appear anywhere in the UN charter, but finds it exists in the demands of people everywhere who are working to hold their governments accountable. She tells Andrew Keen that, as a former journalist, she is passionate about facts and worried about clickbait and "tidbits of information without verification." She also offers the concept of "citizens' assemblies" as an alternative for referenda, and muses about exploring the relationship between "linguistic echo chambers" and democracy.
