Save the Date: Beyond Broadcast 2007

Berkman is happy to be working with the MIT Comparative Media Studies program and Yale's Information Society Project to present Beyond Broadcast 2007: From Participatory Culture to Participatory Democracy. The one-day conference on Saturday, February 24 will continue the discussion from the first highly successful Beyond Broadcast, which was held in May 2006.

Broadcast media have long played a powerful role in shaping political culture and mediating citizen engagement in the democratic process, and the conference will examine how participatory culture is putting the tools of media creation and critique in the hands of citizens themselves.

Registration is now open! To learn more, see Beyond Broadcast online.
