Second Life panel discussion on “Credibility in the New News” on February 29

Posted on February 22, 2008 by

Our friends at USC are organizing a Second Life discussion on "Credibility and Reputation in the New News" featuring Tony Curzon Price, Editor of
OpenDemocracy.net, Jonathan Zittrain, Professor and Internet Scholar at
Oxford University and Kathy Im, Program Officer at
the MacArthur Foundation. The event will be held on the USC Annenberg Island [http://tinysl.com/Sf08849] at 10:00a.m. PST on Friday, February 29.

The full event announcement follows… 

MacArthur and Virtual Worlds: Credibility and Reputation in the New News

Please join the USC Annenberg School for Communication for a
discussion in a series on philanthropy and virtual worlds supported by
the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.   

The
event, "MacArthur and Virtual Worlds: Credibility and Reputation in the
New News," will be held on the USC Annenberg Island [http://tinysl.com/Sf08849] at 10:00a.m. PST on Friday, February 29, 2008.   

The discussion will explore questions about the credibility and
accuracy of news and information in virtual worlds.  Is the challenge
of credibility assessment different in virtual worlds than in the
real-world?  How do people signal and assign trustworthiness in the
virtual world? Are there credibility cues unique to the virtual space,
or do real-world biases, brands and knowledge permeate what people
believe and trust in virtual worlds?  How is identity and reputation
developed and protected, or alternatively, defamed or hijacked, in
virtual worlds?

These questions will be explored by Kathy Im, Program Officer at
the MacArthur Foundation, Tony Curzon Price, Editor of
OpenDemocracy.net, Jonathan Zittrain, Professor and Internet Scholar at
Oxford University.

The event is an open dialogue where participants are encouraged to
submit questions for the speakers. The event will use Second Life
Voice.

RSVPs are recommended but not mandatory. To reserve a spot, please send an email with subject line, "February 29" to: networkculture@gmail.com
