Please join us for a screening of the film, Digital Disconnect, followed by a short discussion of the film. “Digital Disconnect, based on the acclaimed book by media scholar Robert McChesney, trains its sights on the relationship between the internet and democracy in the age of fake news, filter bubbles, and Facebook security breaches.” (https://www.mediaed.org/digital-disconnect/)
