Hvorfor fortsetter internett å skape monopoler som Google, Apple, Amazon og Facebook? Hvordan kan vi endre dette på en måte slik at vi ikke avskaffer et monopol for at det bare skal dukke opp et annet? Dette er noen av spørsmålene James Ball vil undersøke i dette seminaret.

James Ball er Global editor of The Bureau of Investigative Journalism, hvor han har ansvar for internasjonale non-profit prosjekter. Han jobber også som frilansskribent og reporter, og er ukentlig spaltist for The New European.

Tidligere var James korrespondent for BuzzFeed UK, og også redaktør for spesial-prosjekt ved The Guardian der han hadde en sentral rolle i dekningen av NSA-lekkasjene og Edward Snowden-saken som ble belønnet med en Pulitzer Prize, i tillegg til andre viktige prosjekter.

James har gitt ut flere bøker, inkludert "Post-Truth and "Bluffocracy". Hans neste bok, "The System: who owns the internet and how it owns us" gis ut av Bloomsbury i August 2020.

Målgruppe: Redaksjoner, journalister, datajournalister og teknologer.

Seminaret holdes på engelsk.

Who Controls The Internet – and how do we take it back?

Why does the internet keep creating monopolies like Google, Apple, Amazon and Facebook? How can we change that in a way where we don’t end up knocking one down for another one to appear in its place? These are some of the questions James Ball will shed a light on and examine during this seminar.

James Ball is the global editor of The Bureau of Investigative Journalism, where he oversees the not-for-profit’s international reporting projects. He also works as a weekly columnist for The New European and as a freelance writer and broadcaster.

He was previously a special correspondent at BuzzFeed UK and special projects editor at The Guardian, where he played a key role in the Pulitzer Prize-winning coverage of the NSA leaks by Edward Snowden, as well as the offshore leaks, HSBC Files, Reading the Riots and Keep it in the Ground projects.

James is the author of multiple books, including "Post-Truth and "Bluffocracy". His next book, "The System: who owns the internet and how it owns us" is published by Bloomsbury in August 2020.

Target group: Editors, journalists, data journalists and techies.
