We’re attending the Truthiness in Digital Media conference today at Harvard’s Berkman Center, which brings together journalists, hackers, and legal scholars to discuss the elusive values of truth and objectivity in news.

I’ll be live blogging (and tweeting #truthicon on @NiemanLab) the most interesting bits of conversation throughout the day. Watch this space.

“Physical deterioration, outdated formats, publications disappearing, and the relentless advance of technology leave archives vulnerable.”

A generation of journalists moves on

“Instead of rewarding these things with fair pay, job security and moral support, journalism as an industry exploits their love of the craft.”

Prediction markets go mainstream

“If all of this sounds like a libertarian fever dream, I hear you. But as these markets rise, legacy media will continue to slide into irrelevance.”
