Dr. Jan-Hinrik Schmidt will give the opening presentation for the event series “Internet Shapes Politics”. He will discuss how digital media is changing our public debates and social cohesion.
What do digital media do to us humans – and what do we do to digital media? Does the diversity of available information and the opportunity for democratic exchange increase? Or do we rather end up with “filter bubbles” and disinformation campaigns that divide society? The presentation will outline how opinions are formed in digital spaces, how social cohesion is changing, and where we are called upon as individuals and as a society. The presentation will be followed by a moderated discussion.
Moderation: Dr. Nina-Kathrin Wienkoop
