Rahul Bhargava - How Stories Move

As well as being a research specialist at the MIT Center for Civic Media, Rahul does a lot of facilitation work. His original background is in robotics and education, and here he talks to us about his research into how information and stories move in today's information ecosystems. He gives tips on how to work with Big Data using new tools, explains why the notion of “completeness” in a story is a myth, and how he uses his “smell test” to weed out unreliable information.
