iRights.Lab and the Vodafone Institute for Society and Communications
cordially invite you to the international conference "Groundbreaking
Journalism - At the Intersection of Man and Machine", taking place in
Berlin on 3 April 2014.

William Gibson famously said, "The future is already here вЂ” it's just
not very evenly distributed". Using this insight as a guideline, we will
be discussing present and future developments at the intersection of
humans and machines in journalism with German and international
journalists, developers, media executives, and academics.
