Come out for a drink up with others who are interested in, are working with, and/or are affected by the ways new media is changing the creation, dissemination, presentation and business of journalism.
You might learn something new, have a disagreement, find what you know is a big help to someone, get an idea, make a new friend, have a nice time, or have one too many.
All are welcome: hacks and hackers, data journalists and scientists, open data and gov aficionados, students and academics, beginners and pros, venture capitalists and paupers, teetotallers and barflies. Bring your colleagues, and feel free to cross post this invitation with any group that could be relevant to the conversation.

See you there,
Leon & the Hacks/Hackers Toronto Team
The worlds of hackers and journalists are coming together as reporting goes digital and Internet companies become media empires.
Journalists call themselves "hacks," someone who can churn out words in any situation. Hackers use the digital equivalent of duct tape to whip out code. Hacker-journalists try and bridge the two worlds.
This group is to bring all these people together -- those who are working to help people make sense of their world. It's for hackers exploring technologies to filter and visualize information, and for journalists who use technology to find and tell stories. In the age of information overload, all their work has become even more crucial.
This group aims to help members find inspiration and think in new directions, bringing together potential collaborators for projects and new ventures.

We just grab a coffee and speak French. Some people have been coming every week for months... it creates a kind of warmth to the group.
