Why does this entry deserve to win?

The Young Turks covers the issues that everyday Americans care about, constantly challenging the status quo, holding the government accountable, and empowering individuals with the tools they need to make a difference. Their storytelling is elevated by the support of an engaged audience called the, 'TYT Army.' During the live daily news show, hosts also spend time responding to comments by the audience using the hashtag #tytlive on Twitter, on YouTube SuperChat, and member comments.

In 2019, The Young Turks positioned itself as a necessary campaign stop ahead of the start of the Democratic Presidential Primary race. The show expanded to three hours with a new segment called, 'The Conversation.' The third hour typically features interviews, debates, and panel discussions with thought-leaders, politicians from the left and right, media personalities, policy makers, and influencers.

Past guests include Senator Bernie Sanders, Senator Elizabeth Warren, Andrew Yang, Edward Snowden, Jim Gaffigan, and more.
