SUMMARY:Transparency Series Seminar - Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Food production. Transportation. Energy usage. Critical infrastructure. Climate change is affecting almost every aspect of our lives. But reporting on climate is challenging\, and many journalists feel uncomfortable engaging the topic outside an environmental beat. The subject can be technical\, supported by data and models\, some of which do not agree.  \nJoin us for a Friday evening discussion where we shift our focus on climate change to structural inequalities.

SUMMARY:Transparency Series Seminar - Drone Photography
DESCRIPTION:As with Virtual Reality\, drone journalism offers opportunities in data collection and visual representation afforded by few other technologies that are within the grasp of a typical newsroom. Drones\, or unmanned aerial systems\, provide a perspective that is truly unique. It seems to be good for providing a sense of scale (moving from the ground to a significant vantage point above some event or phenomenon). Drones can provide access to regions that are otherwise impossible to film. The artful\, informative deployment of drone photography and its role in journalism is the subject of this Transparency Series event. \nOn Friday\, we will explore the various uses of drones as a means for reporting\, as well as the legal/ethical concerns associated with the medium. We are delighted to announce that the seminar will be led by Missy Cummings\, Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science at Duke University.

SUMMARY:Transparency Series Seminar - Virtual Reality
DESCRIPTION:The transparency series for 2017-18 will kick off with an exploration into virtual reality (VR) and its role in journalism. With the recent explosion of VR – specifically 360-degree video– journalistic outlets are hungry for quality documentary content for immersive platforms. Led by Roger Kenny\, WSJ and Dow Jones\, we will explore the short but dramatic rise of VR in the media. \nWhile immersive media experiences have become increasingly prevalent in the gaming and entertainment industry\, we are only beginning to explore them within the context of documentary photography and journalism. How can media makers use immersion as a tool to build empathy\, engage communities\, and forward social change? How does immersing your viewer in content change the nature of the story you are telling? And how does this mode of experiencing a story change how journalists approach the planning\, creation\, and distribution of stories? \n

SUMMARY:Sneakercon
DESCRIPTION:The Internet has grown so omnipresent today that it’s easy to overlook the continuing role of “offline networks\,” systems for exchanging digital information that bypass the Internet. “Sneakernets” (by which we mean any kind of offline networking\, a slight abuse of the terminology) take many forms\, whether it’s a thumb drive passed between friends or a semi-trailer truck full of hard drives delivered to a server farm\, or games played over a private network. Sneakernets form countless links in our digital infrastructure\, but nevertheless tend to pass unnoticed in favor of a totalized\, global Internet. The purpose of Sneakercon is to reexamine the offline side of the digital age by foregrounding the prevalence\, variety\, and uses of offline networks during two days of talks\, discussion panels\, and workshops.
