SUMMARY:The City Talks: Storytelling at the New York Times's Metro Desk
DESCRIPTION:Emily Rueb – Photo by Leslye Davis\nAs attention spans shrink and the representation of factual information is under scrutiny by the public\, news organizations need clear\, engaging storytelling that reaches readers where they are. In this talk\, Emily Rueb\, a reporter for The New York Times\, will share insights gained in bursting boundaries of traditional storytelling for The New York Times’s Metro desk. Weaving video\, audio\, illustrations and text across multiple platforms\, she chronicled aspects of New York’s complex but rarely seen infrastructure\, like the power grid and the water system\, and also its overlooked neighbors\, like red-tailed hawks. Her talk will also look at what’s next for an organization that cherished its customs but has come to realize that its most important legacy values cannot survive without steady\, rapid integration of new techniques. \nMs. Rueb writes and produces New York 101\, a multimedia column explaining infrastructure. At the Times\, she pioneered new approaches to storytelling for the breaking news blog\, City Room\, where she covered Hurricane Sandy and major elections\, and created a niche writing about avian life. She also edited Metropolitan Diary. Her New York 101 series examined the power grid\, road construction\, organics recycling and the water system. Winner of an Emmy and a Knight-Batten Award for Innovation in Journalism\, Rueb also has contributed to The Financial Times\, BBC Scotland\, Time Out Paris and Cleveland Magazine.

SUMMARY:Bunk and the History of Hoaxes with Kevin Young
DESCRIPTION:Kevin Young\, poetry editor for The New Yorker and director of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library\nThe author of 11 books and poetry collections\, poetry editor for The New Yorker and director of the New York Public Library’s Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture\, Young has spent the past six years tracing the history of news-worthy fraudulence all the way back to the 18th century. Young’s latest book Bunk: The Rise of Hoaxes\, Humbug\, Plagiarists\, Phonies\, Post-Facts\, and Fake News chronicles the racially prejudiced path that brought fake news to where it is to today. Longlisted for the 2017 National Book Award\, Bunk dives into hoaxes big and small that permeate American history and the cultural attitudes that drive them. Young joins Carole Bell\, an assistant professor of Communication Studies at Northeastern University whose research explores the connections between media and politics\, for a broad-ranging discussion on the current state and political consequences of fake news. A book signing will follow. \nSpeakers: \nKevin Young is poetry editor for The New Yorker\, director of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library\, and the author of 11 books and poetry collections including The Grey Album: On the Blackness of Blackness\, which was a New York Times Notable Book\, and Jelly Roll: A Blues\, which was a finalist for the National Book Award. \nCarole Bell is an assistant professor of Communication Studies and affiliated faculty in Political Science at Northeastern University. Bell’s teaching and research focuses on the intersections of media\, politics\, public opinion and public policy\, with a particular focus on issues of social identity. Her first book\, The Politics of Interracial Romance in American Film\, is forthcoming from Routledge. \nThis event is sponsored by Radius at MIT. All Communications Forum events are free and open to the general public.
