Digital technologies and the new media are changing democracy.
By informing and empowering the citizens, the new media have made public
discourse more dynamic and vibrant. Democratic values have gained a new
momentum through the support of cyberspace. The arena of free speech has
widened like never before.
Participation of the audience through the use of
citizen journalism and alternative media channels has re-energized democratic
values and beliefs. The World Wide Web is in the centre-stage of a great
democratic discourse supported by a host of new media gadgets.
Indeed, the new media have opened a new phase to our democratic
fabric and we are witnessing its reach and influence.
Keeping these developments in view, a two-day national
seminar on “New Media and Indian Democracy” is proposed to be held on
25-26 January 2014.
The seminar aims to debate the impact of the new media
in strengthening the democratic fabric of the nation.
We invite you to
participate in the seminar and present your valuable ideas and thoughts in the
form of papers and poster presentations. Please circulate this note among your colleagues.
