How can we innovate digital journalism, not only improve it but create it from scratch?
Spend one weekend thinking outside the box and find new ways of storytelling and new tools. Become part of a team of journalists, designers and developers and develop a prototype, a new gadget or a new form. Your goal: Create a new kind of journalism that is purely digital and goes beyond improving the present but radically pushes forward into the future.
