Experts from Switzerland, Europe and the US discuss their research on political communications and media democracy in this 2-day workshop. By presenting theoretical and empirical findings relating to democratic norms and practices with an emphasis on modern election campaigns, a special focus is given to the health of a democracy and the extent to which voters are willing and able to influence their society via the ballot box.
This conference is organized jointly by SwissGIS (Swiss Centre for Studies on the Global Information Society) and NCCR Democracy (National Centre of Competence in Research on Challenges to Democracy in the 21st Century) to celebrate Zurich University’s 175th anniversary on the US West Coast.
Please note this is Day 2 of a 2-day event – mandatory registration is free and it is possible to register for each day separately. For Day 1 click here; for the introductory roundtable "How Do News Media impact Elections?" click here.
