Social media and democracy across the Americas
This study explores the relationship between social media use in everyday life and democratic processes in the Americas. It does so through a literature review of social media and democracy in Latin America, and through a series of annual online surveys to be conducted in the six countries with the largest populations of the Americas: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Mexico, and the United States. The first edition of the annual survey will be launched in the coming year.
