On March 8, Alex Sévigny, Program Director in the McMaster-Syracuse Master of Communications Management program at McMaster University, came to Ottawa as part of CFHSS' Big Thinking lecture series on Parliament Hill. His lecture, Who's driving the story? Question Period, social media and changing political communications, was attended by over 100 MPs, Senators, business and not-for-profit folk--look for the video of his talk up on our site shortly. Before heading up to the Hill to give the breakfast lecture, Alex stopped by the CBC Radio One studios for an interview on Ottawa Morning with Robyn Bresnahan. Robyn and Alex discuss MPs tweeting, social media and how Canadians are interacting with their elected representatives. Listen to the interview from early March 8th, which also happened to be International Women's Day.
