A project of the World Affairs Council of Northern California, the Global Philanthropy Forum aims to build a community of donors and social investors committed to international causes, and to inform, enable and enhance the strategic nature of their work.
Through an annual conference and other events and programs, the GPF connects donors to issues; to effective strategies; to potential co-funding partners; and to emblematic agents of change from around the world. By building, and continually refreshing a lasting learning community, the GPF seeks to expand the number of philanthropists who will be strategic in pursuit of international causes.

(Y) | John J. McCloy |
Digital and social media have done more than any other influence to upend the news industry, posing at least three challenges. The first is that the resulting proliferation of media has overwhelmed the consumer’s capacity to discern. Majorities tell Gallup pollsters that the more information they receive the less informed they are. The second is the disintermediation of media, as consumers increasingly get their news from platforms like Facebook that aggregate news stories. Whereas consumers used to rely on their favorite editors or producers to distinguish fact from opinion, the important from the unimportant, they are less likely to be aware of the source when reading their newsfeed, and therefore less likely to trust the reporting. Third, when algorithms drive the way in which information is sourced, disseminated, and consumed, biase
not only reflected, but reinforced. Views are hardened, and divides are deepened. Finally, we have not only adopted new technologies but also new business models, without consideration of the ethical implications of the combination. This panel will consider the ways in which the rise of digital media impacts public life, and the ethical, organizational and institutional innovations that are needed to capture the benefits and mitigate the potential harm of reliance on digital media.
