CIVIL DISCOURSE SERIES

DISCUSSION PANEL Presented by The Meadows Foundation

Social Media and Society Thursday, October 1 at 7:00 pm CT

In today’s society, news and information increasingly circulate across platforms like Facebook and Twitter. Join us for a conversation addressing the critical issues surrounding social media. In a space where misinformation and bias are so common, how do we engage with each other in a civil and informed manner? Should social media companies exert control over the content shared on their platforms? Is it their responsibility to regulate or call attention to misinformation or bias in posts, images, and ads, or is it up to users to engage with social media critically?
