Sessions
Every newsroom collapse this decade has the same architectural cause underneath it. This talk inventories what working journalists actually need from the decentralized web, drawn from 20 years across the industry.
How does information actually disappear, and what would have to be true for it not to? A working hour with reporters, archivists, builders, and lawyers mapping the failure points and sketching the backstops, starting from real cases.
