 Conference Crossing Boundaries Looks at New Media and the Shape of 
 International News \n\nIn an age of "Twitter and Facebook Revolutions," 
 Wikileaks, and cell phone reporting, how are journalists and governments 
 adapting to the speed of content generated outside the traditional 
 newsroom?  What are the digital trends that are shaping international news 
 and events?  Journalists, scholars, and industry leaders will speak on 
 timely, boundary-crossing news, audiences, and technology in a 2-day 
 conference on March 17, 18, UC Berkeley. \n\nCrossing Boundaries features 
 new research and scholarship on social media platforms, activism, the 
 recent uprisings in the Arab world; gender and racial divides in new media; 
 news distribution in the new media age; and other topics. Speakers examine 
 changes in the technology and sourcing of breaking news to explore a new 
 tangle of privacy, free speech and human rights issues raised by digital 
 media. Prominent social critic and author Nicholas Carr is the keynote 
 speaker on March 18. \n\nAdditional speakers include: Joaquin Alvarado,
