Data Journalism and Investigations in Political Reporting

***PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF VENUE!***

The Hacks are back!  

Tell the charter pilot to fire up the helicopter, get the family to pack their holiday bags and come and join us for a discussion on data journalism and investigations in political reporting.

Plus, there'll be lightning talks for people to give short updates on current projects.

    Hey note it's actually booked for the basement even though it's advertised for Level 1. Level 1 is a Startmate meet.

    What if I wanted to file an expense claim...how much would be reasonable to put down? $399 as training/workshop perhaps?
