Civil Discourse in an Uncivil Age
February 22, 2022 at 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
What impacts are the current media and political climate having on the first draft of history? How can citizens, government, and the press restore faith in civic life and the integrity of public policy?
Join the Bob Graham Center for Public Service on Tuesday, February 22, 2022 from 6 – 7 p.m. via Zoom for a virtual program with Alexander Heffner, host of “The Open Mind” on PBS as he considers these questions.
Heffner will discuss the effects of divisiveness on discourse, campaigns, and governance as well as the influence of new media, dis/misinformation, and filter bubbles that polarize American society.
Alexander Heffner has covered American politics since the 2008 presidential campaign. He is also co-author of best-selling A Documentary History of the United States, and recipient of the University of Denver’s Anvil of Freedom Award.
