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 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 <https://youtu.be/asENunfEKYY>*. *View on YouTube: https://youtu.be/asENunfEKYY <https://youtu.be/asENunfEKYY>Twitter: #CJSLeaders http://bit.ly/CJSLeaders <http://bit.ly/CJSLeaders>* *Permalink* *https://isoc.live/10672/ <https://isoc.live/10672/>* -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast -------------------------------------------------------------- -
