Please provide a link to an article you find in a reliable<strong>* <\/strong>news source along with a short (under 200 words) explanation of what issues the article brings up concerning digital labor, and what specifically you&#8217;d like to talk about with your classmates. If you can, try to connect your article to other historical or topical themes we&#8217;ve discussed in class: our goal will be to try to figure out how digital labor has changed over time and how it&#8217;s likely to continue to change in our lifetimes.<\/p>\n<p>Please post your article links and essays no later than 12 noon on the day of class. And please return to this site an hour or 2 before we meet in person and take a look at the articles and essays that I have made visible. Don&#8217;t worry: even if your post isn&#8217;t visible, we can still talk about it in class. Reading some entries beforehand is just a way to give us some common ground for discussion.<\/p>\n<p>_________<\/p>\n<p><strong>*<\/strong>&#8220;reliable&#8221; news sources are ones that have some sort of editorial oversight and editorial chain of review, which includes stringent fact-checking. For instance, The New York Times, The BBC, The Guardian (which as you recall was Snowden&#8217;s chosen instrument for his whistleblowing), Wired, The Atlantic, etc. Please try to stay away from news sources that rely on &#8220;on spec&#8221; writing by freelancers who have little oversight or responsibility to the publication for accuracy, or ones which have little or no fact-checking. Examples of these less reliable news sources are &#8220;infotainment&#8221; sites like Huffington Post, Fox News, Gizmodo, etc. If you find an article on a less reliable site that you *really* want to use, then try to see if the topic has been covered by a more reliable news outlet (and link to that article instead).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For class this coming Wednesday we&#8217;ll talk about the issues that you specifically find most interesting and important.
