2023 George Gerbner Lecture in Communication: Keren Tenenboim-Weinblatt (Ph.D. '11)
- Annenberg School for Communication, Room 109
"Cultivating collective futures: Mediated projections and their socio-political implications"
About the Talk
The talk will discuss the social dynamics of projecting and shaping collective futures within and through the media. Looking at the ongoing crisis of democracy in Israel and drawing on findings from a large-scale mixed-method study on election forecasts, it will address the formation of political projections from the perspective of both journalists and audiences, and assess the role that the news media play – and can play – in cultivating our collective futures.
