   We’re New_ Public, a nonprofit R&D lab reimagining social media. We’re part of a collaboration called Public Spaces Incubator.

   For the last year, we’ve been working with @radiocanada (Canada), RTBF (Belgium), SRG SSR (Switzerland), @ZDF (Germany) and now we can share some of what we’ve been up to!

     We are aiming to build new, powerful ways to support audiences in talking to each other, build long-lasting relationships, and elevate new voices.

     Now we have serious work to do in developing these prototypes into useful design features for media organizations’ websites, apps, and other digital platforms.

     Here’s one concept:

     Comments Slider allows people to submit a response (with or without a written comment) along a spectrum.

     The slider itself encourages users to see and share more nuanced opinions beyond the typical binary and to find common ground with others across differing opinions.

     Around the world, public media organizations play a vital role in facilitating public conversations.

     They act as hosts, moderators, and platforms for communities to connect and engage with each other, especially on tough subjects where people disagree.

     But online, true dialogue seems like it has never been more difficult.

     Unstructured comment sections are difficult to moderate, and most of the dominant social media platforms are toxic, chaotic, or politics-averse.

     Many have fled for smaller, safer spaces like private forums or group chats.

     So, in response, Public Spaces Incubator brings together four national public broadcasters in an unprecedented, groundbreaking collaboration across language, culture, and region.

     We've now developed 100 prototypes and sought feedback from more than 200 stakeholders across North America and Europe.
