There is so much opportunity for new products in the media and publishing space, but figuring out what will succeed is no easy task. This event will bring together journalists, developers, and designers to build prototypes exploring possibilities in news media.
Together, we'll target video. How might we create new products, tools, and experiences that leverage video on the internet.
Journalists, editors, media makers, developers, and creative technologists are all encouraged to apply. Teams will be arranged beforehand to bring together a range of experiences and skillsets. Applications are now closed, but you can come to the party. See the attendees.

Hands on learning to help you build out ideas. Workshops will run parallel to the hackathon on Saturday afternoon.
Parsely helps publishers understand how readers are responding to content. Learn which analytics actually matter, and how you can leverage it for engaging content.
Easily include images, videos, and rich media in your apps. Intro tutorials and demos on working with the Embedly API, Cards, and Player.js for rendering media and controlling video in your apps.
See a showcase of interactive video experiences and how to implement them with RAMP's APIs. Ramp builds products that use video to improve internal communication and marketing initiatives.
A quick turnaround to build prototypes can improve the creative process. See demos and tutorials for working with Brisket, an open source library for building JavaScript applications.
Tutorials and demos on accessing Watson Analytics. Watson helps sift, analyze, and visualize datasets.
We're pumped to see what you make.
