Democracy is under constant threat and permanent construction. The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is now in the autumn of 2020 dominating how we all live our lives – and how political leaders are making decisions at the local, national and global level. As the pandemic remains a reality, and as upcoming US elections in November challenge the democratic principles, we consider it the right time to analyse the situation and draw lessons.
This tele-debate with high level speakers builds on the Digital Enlightenment Forum (DigEnlight) conference held in Nov 2019 on Democracy and Media.
