2018 Amsterdam Workshop on News Personalisation

PD D. Wiebke Loosen, Dr. Cornelius Puschmann und Lisa Merten nehmen am Workshop zu News Personalization am Institute for Information Law der Universität Amsterdam teil.

Friday February 2nd IViR will host a workshop for professionals from the media and academia who are involved with news personalization. The workshop will provide those who have to lead the way on news personalization the opportunity to exchange ideas, discuss shared problems and solutions, and connect for future collaboration. Karen Yeung, Interdisciplinary Professorial Fellow in Law, Ethics and Informatics at the Birmingham Law School, will give a keynote about algorithmic regulation in the context of the news media.

The workshop is being organized by the PersoNews project. Through interviews with the media, focus groups and surveys of users, and legal research, the PersoNews project has created a more comprehensive overview of the problems, solutions and opportunities presented by news personalisation. The most salient and recent aspects of this research will be presented at this workshop, followed by the possibility for exchange and in-depth discussion of selected issues.
