In today’s particularly tense geopolitical landscape, the 2024 U.S. election will be decisive not just for the United States but for the world. Key moments and coverage of the campaign, as well as disinformation strategies, can make or break a candidate and push specific issues to the fore. Taking place in the lead up to the election, this event proposes to delve into key characteristics of the U.S. media landscape, how these might impact the campaign and election, and thus impact the state of democracy in the U.S. and globally after the 5th of November.
This event is organised with the support of the Permanent Mission of the United States. It takes place in the context of the Geneva Democracy Week as part of the programme organised by the Albert Hirschman Centre on Democracy.
