Social Media Editor Caroline D'Angelo and Pulitzer Center grantee Jenna Krajeski participate in a discussion at Kent State University on Tuesday, November 19, on how social media platforms influence policy and give voice to communities often silenced. Krajeski participated via Skype from Turkey; D'Angelo also visited classes in conjunction with her visit to campus.
Social Media and Democracy, a joint program sponsored by the Gerald H. Read Center for International and Intercultural Education, the Political Science Department and the School of Communication Studies at Kent State, organized the forum. The panel also featured two Kent State University professors: Paul Haridakis, director of the School of Communication Studies, and Steven Hook, professor of political science. Haridakis considered social media in an established democracy, and Hook labeled his talking points "Tweeting Foreign Policy." Krajeski focused on social media and citizen empowerment. D'Angelo facilitated the panel.
