Friday 23rd of July 2010 is Hack Day in Birmingham. That’s “hack” both in the sense of “journalists” and in the sense of “hackers”…
“The idea is very simple: we get a bunch of public data, and either find stories in it, or ways to help others find stories. You don’t need technical expertise because that’s why the hackers are there; and you don’t need journalistic expertise because that’s why the hacks are there.”
