Digital Citizen

InterAct’s Digital Citizen division has been involved in a range of innovative projects since 1998, including most recently the News Ambassadors radio pilot; the Goldziher Award for journalists in 2017, 2019 and 2022; and the TV and web video series This Planet.

Digital Citizen History

InterAct’s Digital Citizen projects grew out of our work in the analog era, connecting Americans to the world using communication satellites for the Emmy Award-winning Spacebridges with the USSR in the 1980’s, portable video uplinks for the French-American series Vis à Vis and other innovative productions.

Clips of citizen engagement programs we produced in the US and around the world between 1998 and 2004 can be seen in our Video Archive. Articles about our work can be found at the Archive: Articles page.

Besides contributing to the engagement community’s vital work through frequent writing, we remain involved in connecting Americans and Russians in dialogue, and have produced TV and online programs, including the 2013 Real Dialogues “Work & Wages” project and Digital Citizen youth reporters at the 2012 conventions.
