Opening Up the Newsroom




Source Code Berlin show

Summary: Not long ago, the stereotype of a journalist was someone who could ask the right questions, take excellent notes, dig deeper than the average citizen, and write well. One thing you didn't used to hear was the idea that journalists would be really good with technology.. that is until the last few decades when it became painfully clear that journalists and technology need to come together if either one was to have a healthy future. The need has inspired many around the world to find ways to build and introduce tools that can help journalists carry out their work. Annabel Church is one such concerned citizen of the world who's passion for journalism tools took her from Christchurch, New Zealand to London and eventually.. Berlin. We caught up with her at the 31C3 to discuss technology, journalism, hacker meetings, and her own personal journey.
