"New Media and Political Participation"

I just wanted to draw everyone's attention to a Brown Bag discussion taking place Monday:

Brown Bag
presents:

"New Media & Political Participation"
Lars Willnat, Associate Professor, School of Media and Public Affairs, George Washington University
Candidate for Director of Graduate Studies

Willnat will discuss his research on the impact of "new" media on political participation in the USA, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and Malaysia from a comparative perspective. The study is based on the assumption that new media, such as online news or political blogs, offer an important, alternative way of discussing politics especially in societies that have more controlled mass media.
