SUMMARY: Philosophy Colloquium – Dr. François Claveau: ‘Mediated Testimony\
 , or the Epistemology of Reporting the Words of Others’
DESCRIPTION:   Abstract: (coauthored with Maëlle Turbide) In epistemology\,
  the analysis of testimony has traditionally centered on the interplay betw

 /p><p><strong>Abstract: </strong>(coauthored with Maëlle Turbide)<br />In e
 pistemology\, the analysis of testimony has traditionally centered on the i
 nterplay between speaker and hearer. This focus overlooks the complexity of
  many real-world testimonial exchanges. This article introduces the role of
  the mediator\, distinct from speaker and hearer\, and at work in diverse t
 estimonial settings (e.g.\, journalism\, social media and search engines). 
 Expanding beyond the conventional two-agent model\, we propose a three-agen
 t framework for mediated testimony\, in which a mediator (M) in context (C)
  reports to the hearer (H) what the speaker (S) conveyed (p)\, accompanied 
 by informational cues (I). Highlighting the potential pitfalls of mediated 
 testimony\, we explore its normative landscape\, highlighting two principle
 s: TRANSPARENT RELEVANCE and MEASURED GATEKEEPING.</p><p><strong>Speaker Bi
