Hacking the newsroom. How hackers and journalists are working together to change the shape of journalism to come.
Hackers, coders and programmers are more and more frequently embedded in journalistic routines. They work closely with journalists and reporters to create tools, analyze data or design user interfaces. The aim of the panel is to bring together best practices, case studies and ideas about how the journalistic and hacking cultures are overlapping.
The panellists are hackers or journalists coming from different backgrounds (digital security, data journalism, design) and different media (large media companies, independent groups) and journalistic cultures. During the session they will present some of their recent projects and share their experience in working in collaborative and multidisciplinary environments.
