Description

"In Fall, 2007, James Fishkin’s Center for Deliberative Democracy and Jim Lehrer’s Newshour program brought together 300 Americans to talk about democracy. By The People, was broadcast on PBS in January, 2008. I was invited to address this assembly. I talked about Smart Mobs in relation to the public sphere—the citizen discourse that undergirds democracy. The following video, first of two parts, courtesy MacNeil/Lehrer Productions."
