Thursday Meetings at Berkman Blog

Proposed Agenda:

• Berkman Center fellow Urs Gasser on information quality:

  The question of credibility of information posted on blogs or news sites has become a hot issue. Urs argues that this is only the tip of the iceberg or, more precisely, the most visible expression of a much broader and more fundamental question that accompanies the transition from analog/offline to digital/online media, i.e., the question of information quality. Tonight, Urs will give a 10-minute-overview of his forthcoming paper that explores this issue. The focus is (1) on the effects of the Internet on information quality and (2) on possible regulatory responses (in the broadest sense of the term ‘regulation’.)

• Changes in next week’s agenda: iLaw-related blog training with Rebecca MacKinnon PLUS the scheduled Wiki Wonderland with our beloved SJ Klein!
