Data and information – the good, the bad and the open – are critical in shaping the future of scientific research and journalism.

In the final weeks of the year, Beyond the Book is looking back at the past twelve months of our programs.

In this edition of our three-part review for 2019, innovative publishers and their partners describe the role of data and information – good, bad and open – in shaping the future of scientific research and journalism.

Special guests include Ripeta co-founder Dr. Leslie McIntosh; CCC’s Ian Synge; Springer Nature OA Books Director Ros Pyne; and NewsGuard co-founder Gordon Crovitz.

“Of the changes, trifling and profound, that technology has brought in the Digital Age, the most unsettling is our loss of trust,” says CCC’s Chris Kenneally. “What we read, what we hear, what we see – they all may not be what they seem. Restoring trust will require not updates in computer code but a return to earlier codes, codes of decency, honor and respect for the facts.”
