Dear Hacks & Hackers crowd,
after a summer break we're back! We'll meet at ZEIT ONLINE's newsroom.
We'll take a deep breeze of Stanford knowledge and spirit on Tuesday (6th of October). Our great lineup spend time at this University and will talk about their experiences and work:
Tran Ha (@tranosaurus) has the project lead for media experiments at the d.school at Stanford University. Tran has a ton of hands-on experience with using design thinking to change media organizations; she knows a lot about audience development and how to reach millennials. Tran used to run RedEye Chicago, worked at the Poynter Institute and with Reddit, and she was a fellow Knight Journalism Fellow at Stanford. She will talk about audience-centered design and how news organizations can use design thinking in small, practical ways as well as big ways to improve what they're doing.
Anh Hoà Truong (@AnhhoaTruong), as well a former Knight Fellow at Stanford, is an innovative Media Producer and Science & Tech Journalist. He has a passion for emerging technologies and their potential uses in journalism. His topic on Tuesday: "Virtual Reality and Immersive Storytelling: Let's Make Them Real"
Our host ZEIT ONLINE has just relaunched and released two storytelling formats for mobile - cardstacks (find here an example) and storystreams. Martin Kotynek (@martin_k), deputy editor-in-chief at ZEIT ONLINE and Knight Journalism Fellow '14 at Stanford will provide a look behind-the-scenes and will talk about how his newsroom team used design thinking to create something new.
As always, if you can help us find speakers, hosts or have a burning desire for a specific topic to be covered please contact us.
Kind regards,
Hacks/Hackers organising team.

I started the group because there wasn't any other type of group like this. I've met some great folks in the group who have become close friends and have also met some amazing business owners.
