WEBCAST TODAY: @zittrain The Food is Bad and the Portions are Big: How to Deal with the Information Environment Fostered by Today’s Social Media Platforms #CJSleaders
Today, Tuesday November 13 2018, at 7pm EST (00:00 UTC) Professor Jonathan Zittrain of Harvard Law School will deliver the Peter Zenger lecture at Columbia Journalism School. His theme: The Food is Bad and the Portions are Big: How to Deal with the Information Environment Fostered by Today’s Social Media Platforms. Says Zittrain: “There’s little trust right now that Facebook or Twitter are offering well-curated newsfeeds, and not just because, for example, a 14,218-word deeply-researched and -vetted investigative report by the New York Times appears in feeds on the same playing field as a video of a dog wearing pants.” The lecture series is named after John Peter Zenger whose libel trial and eventual acquittal (1735) set a precedent for establishing freedom of the press in America. The event will be webcast live on Youtube.
