Event Details

Hack the future of journalism online.
Hosted by Product Design Dundee with Hack/Hackers Edinburgh, Knight Foundation & Mozilla.

Do you have ideas for how news and journalism can be edgier, cooler, and more interactive online? Are you a web developer? A designer? A news junkie with a hankering to hack?

Qualify directly for a yearlong paid fellowship at the Guardian, the BBC and other major news outlets by entering your idea during the jam.
