Just a few decades into the digital age, we are learning the hard way that divisive information can contribute to widespread social and political polarization. How can we heal those divisions and cultivate healthier, more peaceful communities?

     In the digital age, peacebuilding starts with learning to use the media responsibly. Ultimately, it’s up to each of us to slow down and be savvier in our interactions with information and each other.

     Overcoming Information Chaos: A Guide to Cultivating Peaceful Communities in the Digital Age – which is written by a team of leading media practitioners, legal experts, psychologists, democracy specialists, and peacebuilders – provides guidance for mitigating the spread of divisive information. The book also presents practical resources for helping us live as responsible citizens and peacebuilders who lean into civic engagement that builds community across our traditional divides.
