WORKSHOP: WHAT IS THE ROLE OF MEDIA IN PROMOTING CIVIC ENGAGEMENT?

It is easier than ever before for citizens to engage around issues they care about through the media- either as consumers, producers or both. New media outlets are using innovative ways to generate content; while social media is connecting people, ideas and movements. How can media best promote sustainable civic engagement? What are examples of new and creative tools that the media are using to engage citizens? How is all of this shifting ideas of governance and accountability? Join us for a dynamic, interactive workshop during which we’ll think through these issues, brainstorm on new ideas and build new relationships with others around media and civic engagement across the world.
