This spotlight will introduce the NewsFrames Initiative (https://newsframes.globalvoices.org), a growing community that uses data to explore how the media 'frames' or shapes our views about the world and each other.  We will share a little bit about the tools and our new story types, as well as where we hope to go in collaboration with the GV community and other partners.

How do the decisions of technology makers (often companies) affect different communities, when it comes to language, expression, voice and power? Who decides what's a "major" versus "minor" language?

When you see the entire flow of how bad information gets started, all of the sudden, the 'politics' behind fake news becomes clear. Do we have the power to create actual maps of meme creators and distributors in order to help bring light to the problem?

This "hackathon"-like roundtable kicks things off by inviting people who want to try and address this challenge in practical ways. We'll displaying the results of collaborative efforts on several memes, to be worked on throughout the summit, and also try to lay the foundation for similar projects in the year to come.

We'll start out with an intense session at 2:30-3:15, and if there's still motivation and tasks to keep things going, will be around through our time slot in this tent.  Feel free to stop by!

(This session is being worked on in advance, with NewsFrames and Zotero applications)
