SUMMARY:Surveillance Capitalism\, Human Autonomy\, and You
DESCRIPTION:“Every time we search on a browser\, buy something online\, or post to our friends on social media\, we are leveraging free resources to save time and money. But our clicks and keystrokes also fuel a massive\, algorithm-powered industry that exploits our online experiences for profit. These dynamics are the focus of Shoshana Zuboff’s The Age of Surveillance Capitalism\, a chilling expose of today’s digital economy. Zuboff details how data about our digital activities is used to create predictive models of our behavior\, and how a range of corporate entities manipulate that data for profit and power. Join us for this illuminating discussion about surveillance capitalism’s exploitation of human experience in the digital age and how\, according to Zuboff\, our privacy\, security\, and the very idea of free will are being undermined.”

SUMMARY:Reporting From the Front Lines of the Information Wars
DESCRIPTION:“Good journalism is no longer sufficient to combat the assault on truth and democracy. Media companies are striving to counter the threat of information warfare by working in new and different ways\, and to respond to the ethics challenges posed by this struggle. \nAt this exclusive event\, you’ll hear from journalists—including Daily Beast Editor Noah Schactman\, NPR Media Reporter David Folkenflik and Rappler co-founder Maria Ressa—about building credibility in the era of liars and leaks. You’ll dissect case studies with standards editors including The New York Times’ Phil Corbett and CNN’s Stephen Holmes. And you’ll better prepare for the future with insights from researchers\, security experts\, and big tech companies. \nJoin the Columbia Journalism Review\, the Poynter Institute\, and the Tow Center for Digital Journalism as we define the extent of this new information war and identify new best practices for media organizations. The event marks the formal launch of Columbia’s Craig Newmark Center for Journalism Ethics and Security and Poynter’s Craig Newmark Center for Ethics and Leadership.”

SUMMARY:Facebook Made Me Do It: Social Media and Democracy | The Alliance Series
DESCRIPTION:“Social media platforms recently came under scrutiny after they failed to prevent the creation of fake accounts aimed at manipulating the 2016 U.S. presidential elections. The impact of social media on democracy and public debate is felt in many other ways: today’s algorithms\, for instance\, tend to encourage the spread of emotionally charged opinions\, and create rabbit holes of converging viewpoints rather that exposing us to conflicting perspectives; the most extreme views or those that express moral outrage also tend to gain more traction than moderate and balanced opinions. At the same time\, social media have provided new platforms for democratic debate\, encouraging a broader range of individuals to engage in political dialogue\, and have made a diversity of channels available to users on which they can express themselves. \nThis conversation on social media and democracy between Joan Donovan\, Director of the Technology and Social Change Research Project at the Harvard Kennedy School and Célia Zolynski and Judith Rochfeld\, Law Professors from Paris I Sorbonne\, is presented as part of the Alliance Series at Albertine. The conversation will be moderated by Kris-Stella Trump\, director of the Anxieties of Democracy program at the Social Science Research Council.”

SUMMARY:The Myth of the Media: Historicizing Journalism's Role in American Democracy
DESCRIPTION:“Alternative facts and fake news have complicated our trust in the Fourth Estate\, but has our media ever been truly objective and democratic? Join BHS and the Social Science Research Council for a discussion that challenges that notion and explores America’s long-standing romanticizing of what the media is and how it functions. Race\, gender\, and power have always played an essential role defining the news we serve to the public. We’ll look at the people who have benefitted from this – and those who have been harmed – with SiriusSM host and former New York Daily News columnist Karen Hunter; Kim Gallon\, founder and director of the Black Press Research Collective and assistant professor of history at Purdue University; and Andie Tucher\, director of Columbia Journalism School’s PhD program who is currently working on a book about the history of fake news. Moderated by Kathryn Cramer Brownell\, associate professor at Purdue whose work focuses on the how media and popular culture influence American political institutions.”
