Put 2017 in perspective and join journalists and writers Marc Cooper, Robert Scheer and Suzi Weissman at REDCAT for the panel discussion MEDIA AND DEMOCRACY—FROM THE VIETNAM WAR TO THE CONSOLIDATION OF ALTERNATIVE FACTS IN THE DIGITAL ERA.
“Based on analysis of the role of the media and the dissident press during the Vietnam War, and the beginnings of the collapse of the Cold War consensus, the panel will address key issues such as the democratization of the media, the expansion of social media, with its increasing political polarization and deliberate misinformation practices, and their impact on our current democratic system.”*
The panel will be followed by a Q & A with the audience.
MARC COOPER, ROBERT SCHEER, AND SUZI WEISSMAN, Tuesday, December 5, at 7 pm.
REDCAT, Disney Hall, Music Center, downtown Los Angeles.
