Advancing media innovation & fostering public trust

Since 2009, Hacks/Hackers has brought journalists and technologists together to build the future of news.

We do this by:

Convening summits, forums and hackathons where journalists and technologists learn from each other and shape what comes next.

Working directly with newsrooms through our Newsroom AI Lab, from scoping what you need to building it together.

Sharing what we learn in the open through our newsletter, our own experiments with new tools and playbooks anyone can use.
