“The average story about the Ice Bucket Challenge was much
more heavily promoted by Facebook’s algorithms (a factor of 8x) than the average story about Ferguson.”
“Algorithms control the marketplace of ideas. They grant power to
certain information as it flies through the digital space and take power away from other information.” Kelly McBride, Poynter Institute
How can we use social media tools to better engage
the public in meaningful policy debates, foster agency in politics, and facilitate creative conversations that address critical community concerns?
Yochai Benkler
“Cultural change is often the dress rehearsal for political change.
Or put in another way, political change is the final manifestation of cultural shifts that have already occurred.” Jeff Chang
