Sustain What?  Using Big Tech’s tools to show how its platforms shape our online worlds

Want to know how the other half lives – or at least experiences information and news?

Join the Columbia Climate School’s Andy Revkin in a special live conversation with Julia Angwin, the enterprising data-driven journalist who founded The Markup, the new nonprofit reporting hub using Big Tech’s tools – mass data collection and analysis – to reveal how the platforms and methods of powerful institutions are changing society – for worse or better.

We’ll test drive “Split Screen,” which reveals what different cohorts of Americans experience on their Facebook feeds. Join us at the link above and also learn more at http://themarkup.org.
