SUMMARY:“Saving the News: Why the Constitution Calls for Government Action to Preserve Freedom of Speech\,” a Conversation with Martha Minow and Heather  Hendershot
DESCRIPTION:This event is virtual and will be streamed live on Zoom (mit.zoom.us/j/96579656038) and recorded. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn her 2021 book Saving the News: Why the Constitution Calls for Government Action to Preserve Freedom of Speech\, our guest Martha Minow “outlines an array of reforms\, including a new fairness doctrine\, regulating digital platforms as public utilities\, using antitrust authority to regulate the media\, policing fraud\, and more robust funding of public media. As she stresses\, such reforms are not merely plausible ideas; they are the kinds of initiatives needed if the First Amendment guarantee of freedom of the press continues to hold meaning in the twenty-first century.” \n\n\n\n\nMartha Minow has taught at Harvard Law School\, where she also served as Dean\, since 1981. In addition to Saving the News\, she is author of When Should Law Forgive? (2019)\, In Brown’s Wake: Legacies of America’s Constitutional Landmark (2010)\, among many other books and articles. She is an expert in human rights and advocacy for members of racial and religious minorities and for women\, children\, and persons with disabilities\, she also writes and teaches about digital communications\, democracy\, privatization\, military justice\, and ethnic and religious conflict. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHeather Hendershot is Professor of Comparative Media Studies at MIT and studies TV news\, conservative media\, political movements\, and American film and television history. She is author of the forthcoming book When the News Broke: Chicago 1968 and the Polarizing of America\, which follows her 2016 title Open to Debate: How William F. Buckley Put Liberal America on the Firing Line. She has held fellowships at Vassar College\, New York University\, Princeton\, Harvard\, Radcliffe\, and Stanford\, and she has also been a Guggenheim fellow. Her courses emphasize the interplay between creative\, political\, and regulatory concerns and how those concerns affect what we see on the screen.

SUMMARY:Mary Beth Meehan and Fred Turner\, “Seeing Silicon Valley”
DESCRIPTION:In-person attendance: limited to MIT community members enrolled in Covid Pass. \n\n\n\nStreaming: This event will be available live on Zoom (mit.zoom.us/j/96579656038) and recorded. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAcclaimed photographer Mary Beth Meehan and Silicon Valley historian and media scholar Fred Turner discuss their recently published and award-winning book Seeing Silicon Valley: Life inside a Fraying America\, a collaborative exploration of the culture of Silicon Valley — not the culture of Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg that we see in the press\, but the lives of the men and women who inhabit the Valley and make it work. If Silicon Valley is building the world’s future\, Meehan and Turner argue\, then we must learn to see through the tech industry’s marketing campaigns. We need to see the kind of society the tech industry is actually creating\, in its own back yard. \n\n\n\n\nFred Turner is the Harry and Norman Chandler Professor of Communication at Stanford University. Before coming to Stanford\, he taught Communication at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government and MIT’s Sloan School of Management. He also worked for ten years as a journalist. He has written for newspapers and magazines ranging from the Boston Globe Sunday Magazine to Harper’s. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMary Beth Meehan is an independent photographer\, writer\, and educator\, who has spent more than twenty years embedding herself in communities across the United States. Beginning in her native New England\, and continuing in the Midwest\, the American South and in Silicon Valley\, her work\, which combines image\, text\, and large-scale public installation\, stems from her belief in a collaborative process that should function in and for the communities it reflects. Co-opting the scale of celebrity and advertising\, Meehan’s portrait banners activate public spaces and spark conversations among and about the people who inhabit them.
