Features

• Control of a business that provides influence for hire, mostly through social media.

• A network of public attention, eager for the next scandal that you may choose to break

???s

During your experience, you might reflect on questions such as:

• How does what we pay attention to and what we ignore shape reality?
• Who is manipulating our attention, and why?
• How is social media shaping news and journalism?
• How is media used to both promote and fight authoritarianism?

(Or, you might just blithely pursue profit and influence. The choice is yours.)
