Summer is here, and so is the first meet-up in Twitter's airy Air Street offices. We're back with some more awesome speakers and more drinks!
Speakers
1) Matt Liddy, @mattliddy, ABC News
More and more interactive news projects have come about when hacks and hackers work together with academics, or (blame Matt for this), hackademics.
Matt Liddy is editor of interactive digital storytelling with @abcnews in Australia. He leads a small multi-disciplinary team dedicated to telling stories in creative ways on digital platforms. Their work ranges across data journalism, long-form multimedia storytelling, interactive visual journalism, mapping - and even the odd listicle and GIF.
2) Alastair Jardine, @aj_ux, the Guardian
"Build your own tools (or die?)"
Being a successful news organisation now doesn't only require you to have great journalism: you need great tools too. Alastair, Senior UX Architect at the Guardian, will explore ways in which tools need to both drive change and react to the evolving media landscape.
Drinks!
This month drinks sponsorship comes from Cronycle. The folks there say:
'Cronycle organises your content streams, making it easy for you to find and enjoy the stories that matter to you. No ads, no clutter, just the things you care about, exactly how you need them.'

My first of these events, and really good all round. Cool location, informative talks and met some interesting people - keep up the good work!

Excellent. Interesting speakers. Particularly generous of Alistair Jardine to share some solutions to often overlooked, yet pretty debilitating problems with the tools journalists use.

HI all - I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to come to tonight's meetup - so there is a spare ticket if needed. Hope it's a good one!

Hi guys,
I'm afraid there's no publicly accessible bicycle storage in the building. However, there are a few bike stands dotted around Piccadilly Circus and the surrounding area.

Just got a confirmation that a place opened up for me, but I'm no longer free this evening so can't make it. Another place for someone on the waiting list.

NUJ are hosting a protest at the Egyptian embassy at the same time as H&H next week; hoping to attend both. Egy embassy only about 15 mins walk from H&H venue on South St., but just an FYI in case others weren't aware of the protest.

Can I have more details please? I'm a fresh NUJ member and freelancer for Al Jazeera English.
June 27, 2014
I tell a lie - details here. It's a protest at embassy but a public meeting at NUJ HQ, apols for error: On Monday 30 June at 18.30 at NUJ Headland House in London there will be a public meeting to mark one week since the journalists in Egypt were sentenced. Michelle Stanistreet will chair the event and the speakers confirmed so far include Paul Mason - Channel 4, Jim Boumelha - IFJ president, Jeremy Corbyn MP and Michael Hodgkin - FoC at Al Jazeera English.
