Can Social Media and Civil Discourse Coexist?

First released in 2021, this conversation feels increasingly relevant as social media continues to shape how Americans communicate, disagree, and connect. Monica Anderson of the Pew Research Center and Beau Kiniry of BuzzFeed explore whether civil discourse can coexist with today’s digital platforms—and how online speech influences relationships, public dialogue, and civic life. As polarization persists, the discussion invites listeners to reflect on how we engage with one another in the digital realm.This podcast is created by the Sandra Day O'Connor Institute.
