Digital society & media
Introduction
Rapid changes in technological capabilities can be disconcerting to policy-makers. Regulators need to keep up with innovations in new media, for instance, while new types of skills must be supported across the labour market which keep pace with advances in Information Technologies. The Digital Society and Media Team is dedicated to exploring the implications, opportunities and threats of digital technology for policy-makers and across public life. A full Programme Overview is also available.
