Shaping Public Sphere in the Digital Age
A meeting on the topic at IULM on December 15
The combination of information distribution on digital platforms and the increasing prevalence of virtual communities over physical ones makes it useful and necessary to reflect on the way news about events is disseminated in post-analog societies.
Is the concept of truth or, rather, the substantive truth of facts as stated in the law establishing the Order of Journalists, dramatically being pushed to give way to opinions facilitated by the now well-known and widely identified mechanism of confirmation bias? What will the emerging European Media Freedom Act mean for journalism and communities?
This will be discussed at the meeting organized by the Master's Degree in Journalism on Thursday, December 15, 2022, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the Aula Seminari.
The speakers will address the topic from an international context as evidence of a phenomenon that goes far beyond national borders.
In collaboration and with the research grant by 01 Lab Giornalismo nell’era digitale – Centro di Ricerca Data Science, New virtual Communities, Ethics of Algorithms Università IULM.
