Digital technology is changing democracy. The Internet promised to improve political engagement, but enthusiasm for its democratizing potential now goes together with concerns that digital tools are misused to shape public opinion, influence elections, and control citizens.

The lectures in this series will address this question with a focus on the role of social media and fake news, both in established democracies and in countries on the edge between democracy and autocracy.
