Attention is the currency of the digital age — but who controls it, and to what end?

Join Nathan Schneider (University of Colorado Boulder) for a discussion on how attention economics shapes the digital public sphere and what a more democratic approach to digital governance might look like.

This event is the first in the Digital Governance for Democratic Renewal webinar series, hosted by Tech Policy Press, Columbia World Projects, and the Centre for Digital Governance at the Hertie School. The series brings together leading voices in technology, policy, and academia to explore how we might redesign digital systems to serve democracy rather than erode it.
