[Pasig-discuss] Dodging the Memory Hole 2017 - November 15-16, San Francisco

[Arthur Pasquinelli]

Dodging the Memory Hole 2017: Saving Online News will be held at the
Internet Archive headquarters in San Francisco on Nov. 15-16. Speakers,
panelists and attendees will explore solutions to the most urgent threat
to cultural memory today — the loss of online news content. The forum
will focus on progress made in and successful models of long-term
preservation of born-digital news content. Journalistic content
published on websites and through social media channels is ephemeral
and easily lost in a tsunami of digital content. Join professional
journalists, librarians, archivists, technologists and entrepreneurs in
addressing the urgent need to save the first rough draft of history in
digital form.

The two-day forum — funded by the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism
Institute and an Institute of Museum and Library Services grant awarded
to the Journalism Digital News Archive, UCLA Library and the Educopia
Institute — will feature thought leaders, stakeholders and digital
preservation practitioners who are passionate about preserving
born-digital news. Sessions will include speakers, multi-member panels,
lightning round speakers and poster presenters examining existing
initiatives and novel practices for protecting and preserving online
journalism.
