Media and Communication Paths to Depolarization
Fri, September 6, 4:00 to 5:30pm, Marriott Philadelphia Downtown, Franklin 6Session Submission Type: Created Panel
Session Description
Political polarization is perceived to be a growing problem in the United States and a number of countries around the world, with a range of alleged negative consequences for democracy and security. In order to reduce and reverse this trend, a number of interventions using media and communications have been attempted, with various levels of success. This panels examines some of these efforts. It also considers how media programming that is political, but neither partisan or ideological (in the form of the popular Joe Rogan podcast) can be a model for often political media programming that could promote depolarization.
