News Images and Surveillance Online Gods

This month we’re talking about digital news images with Zeynep Gürsel and online surveillance with Nayantara Ranganathan.
What is it that allows certain things to circulate through digital networks and others not? What sort of labour goes into moving certain things along and holding certain things up? How aware are we of the digital architectures through which data – our data – flows?
In this episode of Online Gods we explore these questions and related questions across two different topics – news images and online surveillance.
In the first half of the podcast, we discuss digital news images with anthropologist Zeynep Gürsel, who has undertaken ethnography with those she calls image brokers, the individuals who help turn photographs and other images into news by selecting and circulating them.
Then, in the second half of the podcast we’ll speak with Nayantara Ranganathan a Programme Manager at the Internet Democracy Project about their organisation’s work specifically in regards to research and workshops relating to online surveillance.
