SUMMARY:Ecsite 2019 Pre-Conference Workshop: Beyond Fact Checking\, Addressing Misinformation
DESCRIPTION:“This two-day pre-conference workshop will bring together social science researchers and the science engagement community to explore the role of science communication professionals at a moment when many worry about the prevalence of misinformation. Recent emphasis on values to the exclusion of facts challenges democratic dialogue and can impact global science and technology progress. Public understanding of climate change\, public health issues like vaccination\, and technologies like GMOs is complicated by the spread of misinformation. Unquestionably\, science communication practitioners have a role to play\, but what is that role and how much can we expect to influence the system? \nThe workshop will provide a space for researchers with a deep understanding of misinformation\, trust in science and scientists and other relevant research fields to work together with science engagement professionals and develop practical ways forward”

SUMMARY:Democracy and Digital Media
DESCRIPTION:“In 1998\, MIT’s Comparative Media Studies program held the first Media in Transition (MiT) conference and inaugurated a related book series. Research from that first MiT conference appeared in Democracy and New Media\, Jenkins & Thorburn\, eds.\, (MIT Press\, 2003). Now\, twenty years later\, we are organizing the 10th iteration of the event. Much has changed over these two decades\, but the theme “democracy and digital media” is as urgent as ever. Twenty years ago there was no Facebook\, Twitter\, or Netflix. iPhones and Samsung Galaxies had not yet hit the shelves. And Siri and Alexa were still in development. Since 1998\, media have undergone major transition. We have witnessed a shift from Napster to Spotify\, from Web 1.0 to 2.0\, from CU-SeeMe to Twitch TV\, and beyond. We have experienced the rise of social media\, civic media\, algorithmic cultures\, and have seen ever greater concentration of media ownership. The events of 9/11 catalyzed intensified state surveillance and privatized security using various media technologies. Undergirding these shifts have been major transformations in global media infrastructure\, the platformization of the Internet\, and the ubiquity of the mobile phone. \nIn the US\, we also have seen changes in the news ecosystem with the likes of ProPublica and community engagement journalism. At the same time\, public trust in media has dropped from 55% in 1998 to 32% in 2016\, according to a Pew report. For better and worse\, a growth of interest in media ritual and a decline in the more familiar transmission paradigm is underway. Given such changes\, concepts of participation\, trust\, and democracy are increasingly fraught and have been powerfully repositioned. How will our news media look and sound in the next decade? What can we learn from news media of the past? What can international perspectives reveal about the variability and plasticity of media landscapes? How are non-traditional sources of learning\, knowledge production\, and participation reshaping civic spheres? We are interested in how these issues play out across media\, whether as represented in television series and films\, or enacted in rule set and player interactions in games\, or enabled in community media\, music\, social media\, and talk radio. We welcome research that considers these issues in public media and commercial media\, with individual users and collective stakeholders\, across media infrastructures and media texts\, and embedded in various historical eras or cultural settings.”

SUMMARY:The Web Conference 2019
DESCRIPTION:“The Web Conference (formerly known as WWW conference) is a yearly international conference on the topic of the World Wide Web \nThe conference began in 1994 at CERN and is organized each year by a local team of volunteers in different parts of the world who come together to organize the conference in collaboration with the International World Wide Web Conferences Steering Committee (IW3C2). The Conference aims to provide the world with a premier forum for discussion and debate about the evolution of the Web\, the standardization of its associated technologies\, and the impact of those technologies on society and culture. The conference brings together researchers\, policy makers\, developers\, users and commercial ventures — indeed all those who are passionate about the Web and what it has to offer. \nIn 2019\, The Web Conference will be hosted in San Francisco\, California\, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Web. We come together on May 13-17\, 2019 at a time when more than 50% of the world’s population will have access to the Web via internet. We seek to seize these moments to reflect on the past 30 years of the Web and plan together for the future of it\, to rethink a Web that is truly inclusive and open\, a Web for Good.”

SUMMARY:Personal Democracy Forum CEE (Central Eastern Europe)
DESCRIPTION:“PDF CEE (Central & Eastern Europe) is a platform for exchanging ideas and experiences of activists\, including Central and Eastern Europe region dealing with increasing civic engagement and transparency in social and political life with the support of new technologies. In Poland since 2013\, PDF CEE is the largest European edition of the American Personal Democracy Forum conference organized by New York’s Civic Hall(formerly Personal Democracy Media) since 2004. \nPDF CEE 2019 together with the Festival of Civic Technologies will be a three-day event filled with brilliant speeches and workshop sessions. It’s time to make new friends and find inspiration for everyday work. This year the conference will be held under the slogan: In Whom We Trust. \nIn the lack of trust in the public sphere\, we often look for the causes of growing populism\, dissemination of false information and social splits. This is only part of the truth. However\, regardless of the subject of trust\, we need to trust in someone or something. The question is: who can we trust?”

SUMMARY:Multidisciplinary International Symposium on Disinformation in Open Online Media (MISDOOM)
DESCRIPTION:“MISDOOM is a multidisciplinary international symposium that brings together researchers and practitioners from communication science\, computer science\, and economy\, as well as journalists and online media professionals to discuss current topics\, technical advances and societal challenges in the area of online media. Participants can discuss and contribute to the following (non-exclusive list of) topics: \n\n\nManipulation of societies\, politics\, economy\, and journalism by disinformation strategies (e.g.\, types of disinformation and manipulation\, case studies\, observations of campaigns and strategies\, communication strategies\, economic implications and threats)\n\nTechnical and organizational means for manipulation (e.g.\, technical state of the art and advances in artificial intelligence and content generation\, technical infrastructure and access to social networks)\nHuman\, technical and hybrid detection mechanisms for orchestrated manipulation or individual actors (e.g.\, indicator-based detection\, machine learning\, anomaly detection\, monitoring systems and visualization\, human task forces)\nCounter-measures on disinformation and manipulation (e.g.\, transparency approaches\, technical limitations\, organizational processes\, behavioral changes\, education\, professional codices\, legal actions)\nFuture trends in online-media usage and societal influencing (e.g.\, development of platforms\, disruption of traditional journalistic work\, potential attack vectors in economy\, journalism\, politics\, research challenges and open fields)\n\nWe invite researchers and practitioners to send original extended research abstracts\, case studies\, or position papers (max. 8 pages) before the Extended Abstract submission deadline. International recognized scholars evaluate all abstracts for suitability according to international research standards. All accepted abstracts are eligible for oral or poster presentation at the conference. In a post-proceeding process\, selected work will be invited to become part of a follow-up book publication. Therefore\, authors have to extend their work to a full research paper\, which is then subject to a standard peer review process.”
