Developing Stories: The Women Shaping Media Tech

According to Bustle Editor-in-Chief Kate Ward, “Digital media needs technology to build not just a site – but also a story. In recent years, technology has become more important than ever to reporters and writers looking to engage readers.”

Join Flatiron School and Bustle for a wide-ranging discussion of media-tech and an inside look at how the Bustle engineering team operates. Featuring a panel moderated by Ward and including Bustle Senior Engineer Zahra Jabini, Vox Media Design Director, Vogue Front-End Engineer Simone Hill, and The Ladders Editor-in-Chief Heidi Moore, “Developing Stories: The Women Shaping Media Tech” will explore the increasingly essential tech behind this never-more-relevant field and shine a light on the pioneering women who build and utilize that tech.
