Tech Networks of Boston (also known as “TNB”) hosts Roundtable sessions every other week; these are informal discussions and presentations, on a wide range of topics of interest to TNB’s staff, nonprofit clients, and friends. We hope that you will join us for our next session, which Third Sector New England is co-hosting with us at Boston’s NonProfit Center.
On December 9th, our Roundtable session will be on the role of nonprofits in making media and making change. This will be part of Boston’s first City Awake festival. Our featured guest will be Ethan Zuckerman, director of the Center for Civic Media at MIT.
Producing and sharing media has become a key part of how individuals and organizations make change in the world. Center for Civic Media at MIT studies the use of media for change, and center director Ethan Zuckerman will introduce some of the tools the Center has built to measure and understand the ability of media to influence and shape dialogs online and off.
Ethan Zuckerman is director of the Center for Civic Media at MIT, and a principal research scientist at MIT’s Media Lab. He is the author of “Rewire: Digital Cosmopolitans in the Age of Connection”, published by W.W. Norton in June 2013. With Rebecca MacKinnon, Ethan co-founded international blogging community Global Voices. Global Voices showcases news and opinions from citizen media in over 150 nations and thirty languages. Ethan’s research focuses on issues of internet freedom, civic engagement through digital tools and international connections through media. He blogs at http://ethanzuckerman.com/blog and lives in the Berkshire Mountains of western Massachusetts.
