Chi ha il miglior sistema alimentare del mondo? Come possiamo minimizzare l’impatto ambientale dell’agricoltura? Perché in alcuni paesi troviamo allo stesso tempo fenomeni di denutrizione e obesità, e quanto sono efficaci le risposte politiche? Chi spreca più cibo, perché, e cosa possiamo fare per affrontare questo problema? Il Food Sustainability Index valuta la sostenibilità dei sistemi alimentari nel mondo attraverso tre parametri: agricoltura, nutrizione e spreco. Per sensibilizzare la società civile rispetto a queste tematiche, la Fondazione BCFN in partnership con la Fondazione Thomson Reuters ha lanciato il Food Sustainability Media Award, un concorso internazionale che premierà il lavoro di giornalisti professionisti e di talenti emergenti su tematiche relative alla sicurezza alimentare, alla nutrizione, alla sostenibilità e all’agricoltura. Organizzato e sponsorizzato dal Barilla Center for Food & Nutrition Foundation.

 

Who has the best food system in the world? How can we minimize the environmental impact of agriculture? Why are some countries simultaneously experiencing undernutrition and obesity, and how effectively are the policy responses? Who wastes the most food, why, and what can be done to tackle this problem?

A full crowd gathered for an evening of in-depth discussion at the first session of the 2009 Spring Art Panel Series on March 10. Everyone mingled before the panel began, enjoying fine wine and cheeses courtesy of Artisan Cheese Gallery. Moderated by MOCA Associate Curator Bennett Simpson, the panelists included Andrea Fraser, Blake Koh, Stephen Rhodes, and Richard Telles. There was much to say about collectors, the vitality of art (and which kinds would survive), the consumerism of art, and museum exhibitions. There were even a few light moments. The consensus: there will always be artists and art, no matter how the economy performs.

Dai conflitti in Medio Oriente al dramma del traffico dei migranti e alla guerra in Siria, è soprattutto negli scenari di crisi che il lavoro di inviato si rivela fondamentale. Professionisti che, tra mille pericoli, permettono di guardare a ciò che altrimenti si perderebbe nel caos e nell’orrore. Dall'Europa al Medio Oriente, cosa ci raccontano i nostri invitati sul campo.

 

From conflicts in the Middle East to the drama of the smuggling of migrants and the war in Syria, it is especially in times of crisis scenarios that the work of foreign correspondents is so crucial. Professionals who, among a thousand dangers, enable us to look at and seek to understand what would otherwise be lost in the chaos and horror. From Europe to the Middle East, what do our correspondents have to say?

Con l’avvento di operatori quali Netflix e Amazon, con la crescita della tv on demand e del ruolo dei social media sia come vettori di reazioni che come vere e proprie fonti di ispirazione per programmi e palinsesti, qual è il ruolo dell’Unione europea per fare in modo che ci siano regole al passo coi tempi e valide per tutti? Il Parlamento europeo sta discutendo, in queste settimane, una revisione della direttiva dei media audiovisivi per adattare le leggi vigenti a uno scenario che, fino a qualche anno fa, in pochi avrebbero potuto immaginare. Fra le sfide da affrontare quella di creare un mercato più equo e giusto per tutti gli operatori del settore, tutelare le produzioni europee e garantire una migliore protezione dei minori limitando in particolare i cosiddetti discorsi d’odio. Organizzato e sponsorizzato dal Parlamento Europeo. Riconoscimento crediti formativi da parte dell’Ordine dei Giornalisti, prenotazione tramite il sito SIGEF (50 su 90 posti riservati all’Ordine).

 

With the advent of operators such as Netflix and Amazon, with the growth of on-demand TV and social media roles both as reaction carriers and true sources of inspiration for programmes and schedules, what is the European Union’s role in ensuring that there are up-to-date rules which are valid for all?

Non solo dal Medio Oriente e dall'Africa, continenti-stati tradizionalmente funestati dal difficile rapporto tra potere e libertà di espressione e stampa, ma anche dalle Americhe e dall'Europa si alzano nuovi venti censori. Index on Censorship che da anni monitora lo stato della censura nel mondo, registra un trend censorio in preoccupante avanzamento ovunque nel mondo, soprattutto nei confronti di artisti, attivisti, intellettuali, giornalisti. I corrispondenti di Index da Messico, Golfo, Corno D'Africa ed Europa tracciano una mappa dettagliata del braccio di ferro tra censura e libertà di stampa e ne tirano le fila per non dimenticare, ragionare, denunciare, reagire.

 

New winds of censorship are blowing in not only from the Middle East and Africa, areas traditionally plagued by a troubled relationship between media and power, but also from the Americas and Europe. Index on Censorship, which monitors the state of censorship in the world, has recorded a worrying global upward trend, especially against artists, activists, intellectuals and journalists. In this session Index correspondents from Mexico, the Gulf, the Horn of Africa and Europe will provide an update on censorship worldwide and reaffirm the need for increased vigilance in the fight to maintain, or indeed reinstate, freedom of expression.

Perché in Italia la crisi bancaria è esplosa nelle proporzioni che vediamo senza che i giornali e la politica se ne siano accorti? Le banche hanno tre modi di controllare l'informazione: l'investimento pubblicitario, il finanziamento e la proprietà delle società editoriali. I media hanno tre modi di assoggettarsi alle banche: si sottopongono al ricatto pubblicitario, si indebitano, si fanno direttamente comprare. Dove l'informazione funziona meglio l'economia va meglio. E in Italia la scomparsa delle notizie dai giornali accelera il declino dell'economia italiana.

 

Why did the banking crisis in Italy explode in such proportions without the media and the world of politics seeming to notice? Banks have three ways to control the flow of news: advertising investment, financing and ownership of media companies. The media have three ways to submit to the banks: via blackmail advertising, by getting into debt, or by running their affairs so badly they get bought directly. Where the media is on the ball, the economy tends to function better. And in Italy the disappearance of hard news from newspapers has accelerated the relative decline of the Italian economy.

Saturday June 23, 2012 12:30pm - 1:30pm @ Affinity Lab (920 U St Washington, DC 20001)

A panel about cross-platform, multi-media storytelling for non-profits. Panel members include a filmmaker-turned-app developer, a photographer-turned-web-designer and web-designer-turned-storyteller. They have all developed campaigns for nonprofits that are pushing the storytelling boundaries of the web.

 

After a short presentation on their campaigns and the salient points they've learned, speakers will open the floor for questions.

 

The Panelists

 

Patrick White, Creative Director, Arcade Sunshine Media - Filmmaker Patrick White founded Arcade Sunshine Media after producing documentaries for History.

They are now producing a cross-platform, multi-media campaign designed to raise awareness of Haitian musicians. The campaign is a fascinating marriage of traditional storytelling (films, music, photography, writing) and emerging online outreach (social media, apps, video broadcasting tools, new music distribution).

 

Joshua Cogan, Founder, Joshua Cogan Photography - Joshua Cogan is a photographer and anthropologist whose skill in environmental portraiture has defined his career. Cogan’s combination of still photography and poetry created, Live Hope Love, a revelatory look at the silenced voices of HIV-positive Jamaicans enduring the stigmas of their society through the words of poet Kwame Dawes. Produced by the Pulitzer Center, it won an Emmy for New Approaches to Documentary Storytelling. Cogan's work has also appears regularly on or in the Travel Channel, Discovery, New Yorker, GQ, Men's Journal, Washington Post, and the New York Times.

 

Rajneesh Aggarwal, President, PROVOC - Raj has over twenty years of experience as a graphic artist and designer.

Google e altri motori di ricerca sono soggetti al rispetto delle leggi europee sulla privacy. Una sentenza del 2014 ha offerto ai cittadini dell'Unione europea la possibilità di ottenere il "diritto di scomparire." I cittadini europei possono richiedere che i motori di ricerca eliminino i risultati nei quali appaiono, se vogliono che non siano mostrati. Ma non è tutto. Un caso giudiziario italiano ha esteso questa norma. Il sito Primadino aveva pubblicato una notizia riguardante il proprietario di un ristorante, coinvolto in un procedimento penale. Non avendo gradito quello che era stato scritto su di lui, il ristoratore ha intentato una causa, vinta in tutti i gradi di giudizio fino alla Cassazione. La decisione assunta dalla Corte può determinare che le persone citate in un articolo abbiano la possibilità di opporsi al modo in cui vengono descritte online chiedendo ed ottenendo che il sito elimini tutto il pezzo in cui appaiono o che, almeno, sia cancellato il contenuto ritenuto offensivo. Si tratta di un caso recente, le cui implicazioni sono severe: come possono i siti web affrontare questa minaccia? Come possono difendersi o lavorare con un approccio comune, sia a livello giuridico che in campo politico? I direttori del New York Times, o di Toronto Star, o de la Repubblica, devono temere che un querelante in Belgio possa chiedere che una storia sia eliminata o corretta?

 

Google and other search engines are subject to European privacy laws, and a 2014 decision gave European Union citizens the “right to disappear.” EU citizens can request that search engines purge their results if someone doesn’t wish to appear in them. But it’s not just search engines; an Italian court case has extended that rule. The website Primadino wrote about a criminal case involving a restaurant owner. The restaurateur didn’t like what the site wrote about him, sued, and won, all the way up to the supreme court (cassation) level. The Italian high court’s ruling could conceivably mean that article subjects who object to how they’re portrayed online can have the site take down the story, or at the very least purge it of offending material.

L’attuale ecosistema digitale dell’informazione presenta rischi e opportunità per coloro che soffrono di una malattia. Possiamo raccontare in rete le nostre malattie meglio che offline? Possiamo migliorare l’affidabilità delle informazioni che i malati trovano in rete? Possiamo coinvolgere i pazienti e i cittadini in un processo virtuoso che aumenti la conoscenza disponibile e garantisca un miglior governo del sistema sanitario? Possiamo utilizzare il web 2.0 per migliorare le evidenze disponibili?

 

The current digital information ecosystem shows risks and opportunities for those who suffer from a disease. Can we recount our illnesses better online or face-to-face? Could we improve the reliability of information that ill people find on the net? Could we involve patients and citizens in a virtuous process that increases the available knowledge and ensures better governance of the health system? Could we use web 2.0 to improve the available evidence?

Sul perché noi – giornalisti e lettori – abbiamo bisogno di rallentare un po’. Qual è l’effetto sui lettori della velocità nell’uscita delle news? Ci sono modi efficaci di mantenere distanza e prospettiva (e di conseguenza la sanità mentale) nell’epoca delle breaking news apparentemente incessanti? Come possono giornalisti e consumatori di notizie affidarsi alle Slow News, in una cultura sopraffatta dalle instant news?

 

On why we – journalists and readers — need to just slow down a little. What is the effect on readers of speed in news output? Are there effective ways to retain distance and perspective (and hence sanity) in the age of seemingly incessant breaking news? How can journalists and news consumers latch onto Slow News in a culture that is overwhelmed with instant news?

L’esercito iracheno, con il sostegno delle armate occidentali, è attualmente impegnato in una dura battaglia contro il cosiddetto Stato Islamico nella seconda città più grande dell’Iraq, Mosul. E gli Stati Uniti stanno decidendo come cercare di sconfiggere il gruppo nella sua roccaforte siriana, a Raqqa. Il 2017 potrebbe davvero vedere la fine dello ‘Stato Islamico’ come potenza del Medio Oriente? O come potrebbe rispondere il gruppo, assieme ai suoi sostenitori nella regione ed altrove? Per i giornalisti, coprire lo Stato Islamico e il territorio che controlla è da sempre estremamente difficile – e ora sembra ancora più pericoloso. Gli speaker del panel hanno un’esperienza unica nel reporting da Iraq e Siria fin dal 2011. Cosa dovrebbero capire i media della situazione sul posto in questo momento? Quali sono le complessità del quadro della situazione che non riusciamo a comunicare al pubblico?

 

The Iraqi Army, with western military backing, is currently engaged in a fierce battle against the so-called Islamic State inside Iraq’s second biggest city, Mosul. And the United States is right now deciding how to try and defeat the group in its Syrian stronghold of Raqqa. Could 2017 see the end of the ‘Islamic State’ as a power in the Middle East? Or how might the group, and its supporters in the region and beyond, respond? For journalists, covering the Islamic State and the territory it controls has long been immensely difficult – and now it seems only more dangerous.

Susan Ryan (right) is a fan fiction expert and the keeper of the Beatles fan fiction site RooftopSessions.com. She and a friend (whose named escapes me) returned to talk about writing fiction based on the Beatles and their lives.

 

As Susan Ryan’s friend read from a fantasy story involving aliens and magic, the few people there began to leave. I was the only one left when she finished.

 

And the story was pretty good!
