Social Media: The Good, The Bad, and Everything in Between - Sarah Munir - #TPE085

Sarah Munir is a teacher, Fulbright scholar and a journalist. She has previously worked at Twitter - she comes on The Pakistan Experience to discuss Social Media, US-Pak relations, globalization and the future of humanity.   We get into a deep dive discussion about the role social media plays in our society.  Has Social Media been revolutionary? Has it helped give people a voice?  or has it been co-opted by the powerful and the status quo?  How dangerous are social echo chambers?   This is the sixth of our seven part special series in collaboration with the Pak-US Alumni Network titled, 'Conversations for Change', where we discuss pressing social issues, and have conversations about them with experts.  The Pakistan Experience is an independently produced podcast looking to tell stories about Pakistan, and Pakistanis, through the lost art of conversation.  We do deep dive long form podcasts to show you the many shades that encapsulate The Pakistan Experience.   Please consider supporting us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thepakistanexperience   And Please stay in touch: https://twitter.com/ThePakistanExp1 https://www.facebook.com/thepakistanexperience https://instagram.com/thepakistanexpeperience   The podcast is hosted by comedian and writer, Shehzad Ghias Shaikh.
