Technological advances have enabled swift and vast information exchange.  How has the "global village" affected media structures and practices?  What is the role of media in promoting democracy?  Or propaganda? How to tell the difference?

Join us at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut, as we learn the answers to these questions and more at  LWVCT's 43rd Symposium on International Relations: Globalizing the Media.
