News and the Netizen
The CMRC is pleased to co-sponsor the Public Policy Forum’s News and the Netizen symposium, which will explore the interconnections between the evolving state of news media, technological innovations, and civic engagement among youth.
“Panels and discussions will focus on citizenship in the internet age, the shift from mass media to personal media, and the generational differences in democratic participation. By bringing together experts from various sectors and creating a space for intergenerational dialogue, the symposium will examine the implications of changing dynamics for the role of news media, the practice of democratic governance, and the relationships among citizens.”
The event will take place in Ottawa on Tuesday, November 25, 2008. For more details, please visit the Public Policy Forum’s website.
