Timothy B. Lee, a journalist at Ars Technica and an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute, will visit the Yale ISP for a discussion of his work on technology policy, including net neutrality, patents, SOPA/PIPA, and ACTA. Please join us on Thursday, February 16 from 12:00 to 1:30 pm at 40 Ashmun Street, in Room A424. Lunch will be provided.
In addition to leading a discussion of current issues in technology policy, Tim will also offer some broader thoughts as to how the Internet is transforming journalism, focusing on the following points:
- Online news is increasingly driven by communities of shared interest, rather than arbitrary geographical boundaries. This allows for different styles of journalism because the readership can be expected to have a deeper knowledge and interest in particular subjects, allowing greater depth of coverage.
- There’s been a shift from the traditional model of objective journalism to the more advocacy-oriented journalism that’s more common on the Internet.
- The Internet allows greater overlap between the work of traditional journalists and others who write about their subjects of interest or expertise on a part-time or hobbyist basis.
A lively discussion should ensue. We hope to see you there!
