University Roundtable: The Changing Communication Ecology and the Future of Democracy in Wisconsin  (back)
 
Description:
In recent decades, Wisconsin’s communication ecology has undergone seismic shifts. Once-major institutions of state and local news, especially newspapers, have greatly declined, while others, including talk radio, partisan media and social media, have grown in prominence. School of Journalism and Mass Communication Professor Mike Wagner outlines how these changes are altering the processes by which citizens learn about public affairs, the media in which they discuss them, the mechanisms by which campaigns are conducted, and the arenas in which public debates take place. And though much of the analysis is focused on the state of Wisconsin, Wagner will also present evidence about how similar transformations are occurring across the United States, and indeed around the world.
