Conversations avec Sergei Guriev - Emiliano Grossman sur la bonne gouvernance avec les médias sociaux

Podcast et description en anglais : 

Social networks pose very complex challenges to governments. Those who want to sell news have become very good at creating clickbaits on negative news, knowing that we are naturally more sensitive to this kind of news. Social media discourse also contributes to exaggerating minority positions. Even scientific knowledge, which is one of the factors informing good government policy, can be challenged that way, as we have seen during the pandemic. Even more worrying, social media has a feedback effect on traditional media and mainstream politicians are tempted to join in the populist drive. What can be done to counter this trend? Answers by Emiliano Grossman.
