The use of social media has expanded since the presidential election in 2008. We will explore the transformative role social media has had on political campaigning. The Century Foundation is a nonprofit, non-partisan policy research institution with offices in New York and Washington, D.C. The Foundation hosts three public policy brown bag lunch forums each summer for NYC interns and young adults. This is the first forum of the 2011 season.
