Fusion RiseUp Hackathon –– New York

Fusion is about independent, isolated elements interacting to create world-changing energy. Fusion media platforms offer engagement and influence with millennials who are leading and participating in global protest movements and a strong point of view in the areas of news and current events, politics, lifestyle and pop culture. Fusion creates content that is smart, authentic, and funny—and connects it with audiences across live and digital platforms.

Hacks/Hackers is a network of journalists, developers and designers committed to building the future of journalism using a grassroots approach. Community members work together outside of their normal workplace in an environment that encourages collaboration and community. With 80 local groups across 6 continents around the world and growing, this grassroots movement has spread to nearly every continent and has grown a global network of more than 60,000 professionals who are passionate about news and information.

Chicas Poderosas is a movement initiated by Mariana Santos ICFJ Knight Fellow to train women to participate in technology in newsrooms throughout Latin America. Here we will share events, tools and create networks of women (and men too) who want to make a change in the technology department of their newsrooms. Let’s go girls!
