As the Nation Decides: Why The Presidential Debates Matter
6:30 PM
The 1960 Kennedy-Nixon Debate was a watershed moment in U.S. presidential elections. These debates between the candidates continue to be the turning points in how the American public perceives and then selects a president. The Paley Center is convening a panel of experts to explore the risks and rewards of televised debates. Our panel will consider how new technology and social media have impacted the debate process for the candidates and how voter involvement has been changed by technological advancements and new platforms.
