Tell HN: Am hosting a meetup for 40 journalists in Chicago. Hackers welcome
- brandnewlow 17y agoThere are lots of journalists in Chicago working on different forward-thinking media projects. Several of them and I decided to rent out a bar and invite them all out for drinks this Thursday. We'd love to get some technology people out there as well, especially if you're interested in news, transparency and journalism.

- malbiniak 17y agoI'm at ad:tech. There was an amazing session yesterday that I had no business sitting in on, but did, and oh yeah, it was amazing. I'll try to regurgitate the ideas the smart folks on the panel shared. And I'll bring my drinking hat. http://www.ad-tech.com/chicago/session_detail.asp?refad=1&session=1082 http://www.ad-tech.com/chicago/session_detail.asp?refad=1...
