The Rise of Digital Democracy

Posted by on April 04, 2011

Constitution Center forum discusses digital democracy phenomenon

How did social media harness the democratic fervor in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and beyond? How are Facebook, Google and Twitter changing the global landscape?

The National Constitution Center is sponsoring a forum to explore how these revolutions were planned and carried out, how the news was reported and disseminated through social media, and how governmental and non-governmental entities are getting in on the act. The event will take place on Tuesday, April 12th at 6:30pm at 525 Arch Street in Philadelphia’s Old City.  The event is free but reservations required. Visit here.
