SUMMARY:The Phoenix Burns Out: Remembering a Boston Institution
DESCRIPTION:Featuring essayist Anita Diamant\, former staff writing Charles Pierce\, music critic Lloyd Schwartz\, and Phoenix editor Carly Carioli.Moderated by Seth Mnookin.\nA generation of great journalists cut their teeth at alt-weeklies\, and The Boston Phoenix produced some of the best of them. When the Phoenix announced it was closing last March\, the city lost a powerful cultural force and a vibrant source of information. \nWe’ll discuss the Phoenix‘s legacy and the ways in which its loss will affect Boston. \nPanelists will be author and essayist Anita Diamant\, who started out answering the editor’s phone in the mid-1970s; Charles Pierce of Esquire and NPR\, and a staff writer with the Phoenix in the 1980s and ’90s; poet and classical music critic Lloyd Schwartz\, who won a Pulitzer Prize with the Phoenix; and Carly Carioli\, who started as an intern and rose to become the paper’s editor. \nSeth Mnookin will moderate.

SUMMARY:Hong Qu: "Keepr: Algorithm for Extracting Entities\, Eyewitnesses and Amplifiers"
DESCRIPTION:Hong Qu\nWhen a big news story breaks\, Twitter goes crazy. Keepr tries to make sense of these periodic bursts by implementing natural language processing and social network analysis algorithms to surface topics\, eyewitnesses\, and amplifiers. A live demo will be followed by a discussion of the capabilities and limitations of computational newsgathering\, along with reports of how it is being used in newsrooms. \nHong Qu is a digital toolmaker. He has led teams at YouTube and Upworthy.  He enjoys building social media tools that help us better understand ourselves and the world around us.

SUMMARY:Ethan Zuckerman: "Digital Cosmopolitanism and Cognitive Diversity"
DESCRIPTION:Ethan Zuckerman\, Director of the MIT Center for Civic Media and author of Rewire: Digital Cosmopolitans in the Age of Connection\nNew media technologies have sharply increased the number of people who are able to create and disseminate content. But they may not be leading to a more diverse media environment\, as tools that allow us to tailor what content we see and what we ignore are becoming more powerful and more personal. The framework of cosmopolitanism suggests a way through this challenge – by examining perspectives we are exposed to and insulated from\, we may be able to design tools and approaches that help readers increase their cognitive diversity and prepare themselves to tackle transnational challenges. \nEthan Zuckerman is the Director of the MIT Center for Civic Media. \nModerated by Associate Professor Ian Condry.
