Build the future of Journalism

Journalism has a couple - to say the least - of challenges. Filter bubble, fake news, public trust at a all time low. Last year showed us more than ever. We believe journalism has to strengthen its role as verifier, explainer and contextualizer to create understanding and bring people together in this world.

This year over 10 national elections are coming up in Europe. So, time for some action. Let's use our talents to find innovative ways to make a real difference. We’re not pretending that we have all the answers. We’re not Mr. Miyagi. Or that we can save the journalism with one hackathon, but we can work together to change it for the better. Let’s go.

What: A hackathon
Who: coders, designers, journalists and everybody who cares for good journalism

Crazy ones
This event is community driven. So to pay for coffee and food we charge: 11,11 euro (excluding tax). The number 11 is in Dutch a ‘gekkengetal’, the number for the crazy ones. Because we believe they can change the world.
