At the same time, citizens and journalists are developing new technologies to manage and analyze the exponential increase in data about our civic lives available from governmental and other sources. What new ways of gathering and presenting information are evolving from this nexus of government openness and digital connectedness? Our speakers Linda <http://minnesota.publicradio.org/about/people/mpr_people_display.php?aut_id =30302> Fantin, director of public insight journalism at Minnesota Public Radio, and Ellen Miller <http://sunlightfoundation.com/people/emiller/> , executive director of the Washington-based Sunlight Foundation, will explore this and related questions.
