The Media Impact Series spotlights the role of media in influencing thought and behavior.
“As the 2024 Presidential Election unfolds, dramatic shifts have transformed the political landscape — from an unpredictable race to the rise of deepfakes and growing global interference,” Paley said. “To navigate these complexities, The Paley Museum will welcome a distinguished panel of experts and strategists to explore how the ever-expanding world of media — encompassing print, electronic, and digital platforms — can help the public understand the critical issues at stake, despite widespread skepticism toward both the news media and political parties. The discussion will highlight the influence of AI in this unprecedented election, exploring its potential impact on voter behavior. As the campaigns move into their final, decisive months, the panelists will provide insights on how the media can empower citizens with the information needed to make informed choices for the future.”
