For the Love of Nerding

In an era of 24-hour cable news, a stream of alternative facts, and an infinite well of political headlines is there room for stories that simply delight? Panelists will make a case for why nerdy, strange, non-pressing stories matter. They’ll discuss their work in different areas (social media, video, podcasting) and ways they use delightful news or nerdy information to engage with people in a very crowded, and often cynical, media landscape.
