SXSW 2020

The Devil in Discourse

Description:

How can we change the embarrassing state of online discussion? No one needs to be told that online discourse can be toxic. Whether you make comments on news sites or not, the discussion is usually profane, stress-inducing, and carried on with all the facts and logic of a playground fight. It's time to go back to basics. Discourse is a necessary and positive step to expose people of new perspectives. Without it, we just reinforce what we already think. Hear from Dan Gardner, Founder and CEO of leading digital design agency, Code and Theory, who has pioneered the modern digital landscape with 70+ major media launches for publishers such as Bloomberg and Conde Nast. Gardner will explore the ins and outs of discourse and discuss the necessary steps to promoting healthy online communication.
