We'd like to urge you to register soon for our cutting-edge Hacking News Leadership conference May 3-4 at the University of Texas at Austin's Belo Center for New Media. It's already March, and you have a little more than a month to sign up for the conference and reserve your hotel. Do not wait until the last minute because space is limited and is filling up.

We also want to know what breakthrough projects your newsroom has accomplished that could help reporter-coder hybrids leverage technology to produce new kinds of reporting and storytelling. Email us at jwon@asne.org with your ideas or if you'd like to present at the conference.
Hacking News Leadership 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?
Learn more about the conference here, including the registration and hotel rates. A draft of the conference agenda will be available soon at asne.org.
Key sponsors include the University of Texas at Austin, The Texas Tribune, the Austin American-Statesman, Digital First Media, Google and Scripps Howard Foundation.
