Davidson College’s Vann Center for Ethics invites the public on Monday, Feb. 10, to a talk about “Dragnet Nation: The Ethics of Privacy and Security in the Digital Age.” Julia Angwin, an award-winning investigative journalist at ProPublica, will lead the discussion beginning at 7:30 p.m. in Hance Auditorium of Chambers Building. There is no charge to attend.
Angwin began her journalism career as an intern at the Washington Post, and joined the San Francisco Chronicle in 1996. She was awarded a Knight-Bagehot fellowship in journalism for studies at Columbia Business School in 1998. From 2000 to 2013 she was an investigative reporter for the Wall Street Journal, where she won a Pulitzer Prize for coverage of corporate corruption. She also won a Gerald Loeb Award in 2010 and was a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize in 2011 for her reporting on internet privacy issues.
Angwin’s book, Dragnet Nation: A Quest for Privacy, Security and Freedom in a World of Relentless Surveillance, will be published by Times Books this year. She is also the author of Stealing MySpace: The Battle to Control the Most Popular Website in America (Random House, 2009).
