Metrics, Media, and Race

Does the current metrics-driven news landscape emerge from, and potentially reinforce historical racial inequality? Angèle Christin, author of the new book "Metrics at Work: Journalism and the Contested Meaning of Algorithms" and Joseph Torres, author of the classic "News For All the People: The Epic Story of Race and the American Media" (co-authored with Juan González) analyze racial divisions in media-making and its interplay with data-centric technology. This conversation is hosted by Data & Society Founder and President danah boyd.
