Ethics and Forensics in the age of Photoshop Photojournalism

Dartmouth University.

There is new technology that can detect altered photographs, and even
identify the camera that took them---like a ballistics test.
Come hear about the history of faked photos and what news
organizations can do about them. A joint seminar co-sponsored with
the Nieman Fellowships at Harvard.

Poor Economics: Rethinking the Fight Against Poverty
Esther Duflo, MIT Department of Economics and founder of MIT's Poverty
Action Lab.
Why would a man in Morocco who doesn’t have enough to eat buy a
television? Why is it so hard for children in poor areas to learn,
even when they attend school? Does having lots of children actually
make you poorer? Answering questions like these is critical if we want
to have a chance to really make a dent against global poverty.
