Sign up soon if you plan to go. Meanwhile, there’s plenty afoot this week in Zurich, Vienna, Brisbane and Dar es Salaam.

Happening this week:

• Brisbane is learning data journalism
• Miami and IRE are holding their regular open labs
• Zurich is hosting Alberto Cairo
• Lagos and Abuja are hosting meetups
• Vienna is hosting speakers and lightning talks
• Dar es Salaam is chatting about chat bots

Worth a read:

• The World Cup is happening, and nearly half the audience is watching on livestream rather than television, an advertising study found (NiemanLab)
• Filter bubbles are not, in fact, proven to affect large portions of the population - and other findings from the Knight Foundation white papers on misinformation (Knight)
• Regional markets have suffered in Latin America like they have in much of the world, and digital native sites are stepping in (Knight Center)

A study from the Interactive Advertising Bureau shows that just as many people will be live-streaming the World Cup as watching it on TV https://t.co/oHPp5pr3Pi pic.twitter.com/6FwhadzdyW
