Event and Ticketing Details
Dates & Times
Tuesday 16 November
6:15 PM - 7:15 PM
Today, we’re all reading and writing more than ever, on text messages, on Twitter and on Facebook. But has social networking broken down the distinction between our public and our private lives? What are the rules for writing in forms that are so intimate and entirely open? Do we Tweet as ourselves or as representatives of our employers? And is new media helping us work differently or just work harder?
This event is in partnership with Meanland.
