Getting there will take innovation\, but not primarily the kind that involves new tech. Jay Rosen will spell out what he means by “optimizing for trust\,” and suggest the kind of innovation required\, much of which involves new forms of newsroom transparency. \nJay Rosen has been teaching journalism at New York University since 1986. From 1999 to 2005 he served as chair of the program. Rosen is the author of PressThink\, a blog about journalism and its ordeals (www.pressthink.org)\, which he introduced in September 2003. In 1999\, Yale University Press published his book\, What Are Journalists For?\, which is about the rise of the civic journalism movement during the pre-internet era. In 2008 he was the co-publisher\, with Arianna Huffington\, of OffTheBus.net\, which allowed anyone who was interested to sign up and contribute to campaign coverage for the Huffington Post. He is currently serving as “ambassador” to the American market for the Dutch site\, De Correspondent as it looks to expand to the U.S. In 2017 he became director of the Membership Puzzle Project\, funded by the Knight Foundation and Democracy Fund. It studies membership models for sustainability in news. Rosen is also an active press critic with a focus on problems in the coverage of politics. On Twitter he is @jayrosen_nyu.

People—including emergency responders\, members of the affected community\, and remote onlookers—are repeatedly turning to platforms such as Facebook\, Twitter and Snapchat to seek and share information about crisis events. However\, there remain significant challenges to the utility of social media in this context—including rumors and misinformation. Over the last few years\, my collaborators and I have conducted extensive research on online rumoring during crisis events\, in part focused on how rumors are corrected (or not). Recently\, our work has revealed how a specific subsection of the alternative media ecosystem facilitates the spread of disinformation—in the form of conspiracy theories or “alternative narratives” about crisis events—via social media. This disinformation is often employed as part of a political agenda and poses new information security risks. In this talk\, I’ll present some of the most significant findings of our research on rumoring\, rumor correcting\, and the intentional spread of disinformation online during crisis events and discuss some of the implications—for emergency responders\, technology builders\, and society at large.\n\nKate Starbird is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering (HCDE) at the University of Washington (UW). Kate’s research is situated within human-computer interaction (HCI) and the emerging field of crisis informatics—the study of the how information-communication technologies (ICTs) are used during crisis events. One aspect of her research focuses on how online rumors spread—and how online rumors are corrected—during natural disasters and man-made crisis events. More recently\, she has begun exploring the propagation of disinformation and political propaganda through online spaces. Kate earned her PhD from the University of Colorado at Boulder in Technology\, Media and Society and holds a BS in Computer Science from Stanford University.\nLoading… URL:https://brown.columbia.edu/event/muddied-waters-online-rumors-conspiracy-theories-and-disinformation-in-the-context-of-crisis-response/ LOCATION:Brown Institute at Stanford\, 355 Serra Mall\, Stanford\, CA\, 94305 CATEGORIES:Media Innovators Speakers Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://brown.columbia.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Magic-grantinfosession-1.png ORGANIZER;CN="Brown Institute @ Stanford":MAILTO:brown_institute@stanford.edu END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
