Do you recognize these tweets? What do you see in common here? That's right! These are from our first ASNE Hacking News Leadership in May at the University of Texas at Austin that drew more than 70 attendees and lots of buzz.

Hacking News Leadership: Part 2 at Poynter will bring together people who do the hiring, budgeting and strategizing for news organizations to work with skilled developers, designers and data specialists on the following questions:
- What should newsrooms do to fully tap the power of data and technology?
- What are some easy technology tools editors and digital gurus can share in the newsroom?
- How do editors hire and compete for a limited pool of highly skilled data journalists?
- How can news leaders and technology specialists forge a successful partnership? How can they join forces to hack the future?
ASNE members receive a discounted registration rate of $175 for the first member of an organization and $99 for each additional staff member. And, yes, this conference will be richer if an editor attends along with a digital specialist. Nonmembers can attend for $275. The conference will be limited to 90 attendees. Click here to register!
