MIT Tech TV

Clips of the individual speakers are also posted:

  • Roz Williams, an MIT historian who uses imaginative literature as a source of evidence and insight into the history of technology
  • Abrahm Lustgarten, investigative reporter for ProPublica, who spoke about his coverage of the B.P. oil spill
  • Andrea Pitzer, editor of Harvard’s Nieman Storyboard, who showed off examples of visual, audio and multimedia narrative reporting
