Social Networks Prep for Key Role in Presidential Debates
The Commission on Presidential Debates, which has run them since 1988, last week announced initiatives with social media, academics, and media organizations to engage the American public in substantive conversations before, during and after this year's debates. The first debate between presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump is scheduled for Monday at Hofstra University in New York. A single vice presidential debate, between Democrat Tim Kaine and Republican Mike Pence, is set for Oct. 4.
