News & Brews #2: Prediction Markets
Are prediction markets a better way to report uncertainty than another poll, or a casino that pretending to be a newsroom?
When a network puts live odds on screen, is that reporting, or a chyron with a betting line?
If the whole country can bet on the news, does anyone still trust the people covering it?
On September 29th, we'll discuss. Guests TBD.
🎟️ Tickets: $15, and your first drink is on us
📵 Phones away the whole night
Why phone-free?
Newsreel exists because the algorithmic feed broke how we understand the world. News and Brews is the opposite.
