Newsgame Hackathon
6.—7. Mai 2014, cologne game lab / Fachhochschule Köln
The New York Times’ most popular story of 2013 was not an article. It was an interactive quiz. The Times They Are A-Changin. And we are pretty sure that games as the defining medium of the 21st century will also disrupt journalism pretty soon.
