Digital Citizenship and Civic Engagement

New media has become embedded in civic and political life, raising questions about what it means to be a “digital citizen.” Can social networks galvanize political movements? How equal is the access to information technology? Will online journalism build an informed and engaged public? Are governments and public institutions ensuring personal data is handled responsibly? How is the use of digital technologies reflecting the social values of the citizens those technologies are designed to serve?
