-<WRAP half column> +It is a place to discuss and explore the consequences of such a “war on journalism”; it is a place to celebrate the importance of freedom to publish and access information; and a place for exploring the ethical use of technology for publishing and countering surveillance, etc.

Will you find your way to Mount Dox and explore its numerous spaces? Many surprises -some of them gruesome!- await on your way.... (nudge, nudge, teaser, teaser, knowhaddamean...)
