| Description: |
What roles do the various media play in encouraging greater agreement or fuelling fractious disagreement? Has social media changed the ways we agree and disagree? Do the media make it harder to disagree respectfully? Julian Baggini, Lorna Donlon, and Michael O'Loughlin consider such questions from the perspective of their experience in the public square, the BBC, and Catholic media.
This event took place on Thursday 9 March 2017 and is part of the VHI 2016-17 series on Dynamics of Dis/Agreement. For more details visit http://www.vhi.st-edmunds.cam.ac.uk/events |
