Work on this research and development project will be done in collaboration with New_ Public, a nonprofit organization led by seasoned online participation experts that focuses on building healthy digital spaces. Catherine Tait, President and CEO, CBC/Radio-Canada "Together, we want to step up, discover and experiment with new ways of engaging our respective populations, connecting our communities and facilitating bridge-building dialogue that will strengthen our civic and democratic life." Now is the time for public service media like CBC/Radio-Canada to play a role in reversing this trend. The social media environment has splintered into so many echo chambers that exclude diversity of opinion, discourage debate and silence dissent. Online spaces that are free from disinformation, misinformation, harassment and abuse are near extinction. "This partnership of four of the world's leading public broadcasters underlines our collective and common purpose to address one of the most threatening phenomena of our time - unfettered online abuse.
