Managing Collective Intelligence in Open Journalism: Power, Knowledge and 
Value

Tanja Aitamurto, Stanford Engineering

October 16, 2014 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM

Open to the public.
No RSVP required

ABSTRACT

Collective intelligence is channeled to journalism by crowdsourcing and 
co-creation. While the crowd contributes to the journalistic process with 
its knowledge, the crowd also challenges journalistic norms and ideals. In 
her talk, Dr. Aitamurto shows how collective intelligence impacts knowledge 
search in journalism, alters power structures in society, and functions as 
a basis for value creation.
