Sponsored by Columbia GFoE, Meta Oversight Board and PEN America
On World Press Freedom Day, join Columbia Global Freedom of Expression, Meta Oversight Board and PEN America for a discussion on Content Moderation, Free Speech and the Eternal Search for Truth.
There is little doubt that the internet and social platforms have changed the way we communicate, seek truth and hold others to account around the world. Mis- and disinformation make headlines and have become a sticking point in the debate of whether this change is good or bad. The debate seems hottest in the journalistic sphere. On the 30th anniversary of World Press Freedom Day, this session will explore different approaches to the underlying values of journalistic ethics and integrity on platforms. How do new regulatory models, like the Oversight Board, approach this through content moderation? How are different forms of media evolving and adapting? Are the fundamental rights and values of freedom of expression and a free press still the same?
Speakers:
- Catalina Botero, Consulting Director, Columbia Global Freedom of Expression and Co-chair, Meta Oversight Board
- Suzanne Nossel, Chief Executive Officer, PEN America and Board Member, Meta Oversight Board
- Alan Rusbridger, Editor, Prospect Magazine and Board Member, Meta Oversight Board
