Shared values: journalism and free software
LibrePlanet 2015

Free software and journalism have a long and rich history of informing one another and the Web at large. These communities share many values: transparency, objectivity, skepticism, and dogged pursuit of solutions, particularly ones that help improve our understanding of and access to the world. We'll talk about what these values look like in newsrooms (including the coding side of news) and where there are opportunities for these groups to learn from and reinforce these common values. Journalism drives a huge portion of what we read on the Web, so let's chat about the values that drive both that reporting and development work.

Speakers: Remy DeCausemaker Timothy Duffy Andrea Hickerson Erika Owens
