Hacks/Hackers is a worldwide network that aims to bring together journalists (hacks) and coders/developers/technologists (hackers). The Helsinki chapter welcomes everyone who is interested in the union of technology and journalism to our September meetup at 18:00 on Mon 17 Sept, held at Painobaari in the centre of Helsinki.
See the full programme and RSVP on the Meetup page to attend this event. Hacks/Hackers is a Satellite Event for the Data Journalism and Visualisation Topic Stream.
“I am a journalist that likes playing around with data. But sometimes I am not able to do the things that I want. This is what I will talk about - the projects that I want to do, but can’t. I am a journalist looking for coder friends.” - Jens Finnäs, Swedish data journalist.
