Twitter vs Democracy: A conversation with Deen Freelon

The mass penetration of social media brought promise of improved democracies, but could it be that it delivered the opposite? In the latest episode we discuss this issue with Professor Deen Freelon of the University of North Carolina. If it is Twitter vs Democracy or YouTube as the platform giving rise to social movements, we discuss selective exposure, partisan media, misinformation and disinformation, along with an array of topics related to modern politics in the age of social media networks.
