About this Item

Title

  • Traditional Folklore in a Digital World: Social Media

Summary

  • In the current media environment, people often use the internet as their first recourse to get news, information, commentary, and opinion, as well as entertainment. While some of this activity involves websites of traditional media such as newspapers and TV stations, it also encompasses a wide range of newer digital media such as podcasts, blogs, Facebook, and Twitter. As the nation's premiere public folklore institution, and one that itself participates in both podcasting and social media, The American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress will engage with some of these leaders, learn from them and their experiences.
