What role does/do Social Media play in the enactment of world events? Have social media users, in a sense, become a form of media? What role does social media play in the erosion of empathy among citizens of the global village? What new conversations do we need to be having about the impact of 24-hour streams of content?

These questions (and more) are explored on this week’s episode of Mediacy.
