With the implosion of Twitter / X, new social media tools have emerged designed specifically to counteract the damages wrought by corporate owned platforms. Putting the user at the center enables a new era of audience interaction and connectivity. Alongside this has been a steady consolidation of media into the hands of a few. This event will feature journalists and technologists using and building tools for a new digital future for journalism - one in which journalists retain agency in ways that have previously been impossible in the Web 2.0 era. Speakers will explore topics including:
- The death of journalism as we know it
- Creating new journalist institutions from the bottom up
- Establishing reach outside of the algorithm-dopamine machine
- How to build one audience across multiple applications & the social web
- Censorship resistance for journalists working in authoritarian regimes
- Discourse distortion via trolls and state control
