“After many years of change and struggle, we believe we’re at a turning point in the future – and history – of news. “ Considering #technology use & information creation, distribution, and consumption trends, I can only agree.
Important questions about the future: how will we secure the quality, creation, & distribution of trustworthy news (information about the issues most affecting our lives) in all media, also synthetic.
