We think great things can happen when people who understand what makes a great story and top developers with an eye for data get together. So, in the New Year we’re hosting a hackday for journalists and developers.

The idea is to team people up from different disciplines for the day to rummage through public datasets – the newly opened-up government data, stuff in ScraperWiki and lots of other sources – to come up with stories, apps and visulisations that show what the future of data-driven journalism will look like.

If you are interested, you can grab a ticket here.

(ps there will be prizes)
