EST* (00:00 UTC) Professor *Jonathan Zittrain <http://www.jz.org/>* of

<https://events.columbia.edu/cal/event/eventView.do?b=de&calPath=%2Fpublic%2Fcals%2FMainCal&guid=CAL-00bb9e28-6565d9f6-0165-6838e76b-00001032events@columbia.edu&recurrenceId=>*
 at *Columbia Journalism School <https://journalism.columbia.edu/>*. His
theme: *The Food is Bad and the Portions are Big: How to Deal with the
Information Environment Fostered by Today’s Social Media Platforms*. Says
Zittrain: “There’s little trust right now that Facebook or Twitter are
offering well-curated newsfeeds, and not just because, for example, a
14,218-word deeply-researched and -vetted investigative report by the New
York Times appears in feeds on the same playing field as a video of a dog
wearing pants.” The lecture series is named after *John Peter Zenger
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Peter_Zenger>*whose libel trial and
eventual acquittal (1735) set a precedent for establishing freedom of the
press in America. The event will be webcast live on *Youtube
