Source Code #2 — London meetup for journalists and technologists
What is it?
Source Code is an in-person meetup and networking event for anyone interested in the intersection of journalism and technology. If you’ve been to Hacks/Hackers LDN before, you’ll recognise the vibe: open, practical, and focused on sharing what actually works (and what doesn’t) in news and tech.
Whether you’re coding tools for newsrooms, experimenting with AI, launching media startups, or simply passionate about storytelling in the digital age, Source Code is your community. Expect talks, hands-on demos, collaborative problem-solving, and plenty of opportunities to swap ideas with peers who get it.
