In December, the Obama administration <a
href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/assets/memoranda_2010/m10-06.pdf">directed
federal agencies</a> and departments to implement "principles of transparency,
participation and collaboration," and provided deadlines for making
government information available online. At the same time, citizens and
journalists are developing new technologies to manage and analyze the
exponential increase in data about our civic lives available from
governmental and other sources. What new ways of gathering and presenting
information are evolving from this nexus of government openness and digital
connectedness? Our speakers <a
href="http://minnesota.publicradio.org/about/people/mpr_people_display.php?aut_id=30302">Linda
Fantin</a>, director of public insight journalism at Minnesota Public Radio,
and <a href="http://sunlightfoundation.com/people/emiller/">Ellen Miller</a>,
executive director of the Washington-based Sunlight Foundation, will explore
this and related questions. <a href="http://www.media.mit.edu/people/csik">Chris
Csikszentmihalyi</a>, director of the MIT Center for Future Civic Media
moderates the discussion.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
