Author Trammell appearing at South Main Book Company on Saturday
On Saturday, South Main Book Company, 110 S. Main St., will host Jack Trammell, one of the co-authors of “The Fourth Branch of Government: We the People,” as he explores how social media affects politics today, and the need to reframe our democracy at this event, which is free and open to the public.
With the explosion of social media and the Internet, practically everyone in America has instant access to the news and a greater ability to follow what is happening anywhere. As a result, it is a culture and a nation that is bombarded with information. However, it is coping poorly with that assault. Many people feel disconnected from the very mechanisms and people who are supposed to represent their interests.
