OpenNet Initiative Conference – Video Part IV

This afternoon segment of the OpenNet Initiative conference allowed attendees to have an open discussion following their “breakout sessions” and was facilitated by Berkman Center Executive Director John Palfrey and Berkman Co-Founder Professor Jonathan Zittrain. From general thoughts on the product of the OpenNet Initiative’s study, to Q & A with the principle investigators, it served as a wonderful opportunity to discuss the past and frame the future of the project.

Political Information in an Internet Era

Click To Play Video

On January 15th, 2007 the Sunlight Foundation and the Berkman Center for Internet & Society sponsored a day long working session titled “Local Political Information in an Internet Era.” The meeting was hosted by the Berkman Center on the Harvard Law School Campus. This short summary video features interviews with participants and spotlights some of the emerging technologies being used at the state and local level to engage citizens in the political process.

From the Sunlight Foundation about the event:

“We are interested in how the Internet — through blogs and other tools — can bring citizens more or better information about their elected officials. We have invited 10 bloggers who are focused on their own states’ federal and local elected officials, and about the same number of people who are working on tools that these local bloggers can use — tools like Congresspedia and Metavid (for getting video of Members of Congress).

Our goal is to connect the people working in the trenches with people working in other trenches and with new tools, so that everyone can do a better job sharing important political information with citizens.”

“Political Information in an Internet Era” was produced by Nisha Thompson (Sunlight Foundation) and Colin Rhinesmith (Berkman Center for Internet & Society).
