The Centre for Media, Technology and Democracy

The Centre for Media, Technology and Democracy at McGill University’s Max Bell School of Public Policy is an interdisciplinary research centre dedicated to understanding and responding to the social, political, and policy challenges posed by our evolving information ecosystem and digital technologies.

Collaborating with a network of academic, policy, journalistic and community stakeholders, the Centre works to understand and address the democratic harms of emerging media technologies and to inform and develop fair and accountable governance systems.

Its critical research, policy advocacy, and events inform public debates about the changing relationship between media and democracy.
