Today we’re launching a new Hacks/Hackers series on Poynter. Each week we’ll feature a How To on new tools and emerging trends in technology. The first in the series is Katharine Jarmul, @kjam, on finding and using good APIs for data. You can check it out here. Robert Hernandez, @webjournalist, and I, @bethdavidz, are putting together the series with the help Poynter’s Mallary Tenore, @mallarytenore, our incredible editor.
That’s right, we now have a Hacks/Hackers store. If you’re looking for gifts this holiday season for that special journo-hacker in your life, check it out. Holiday season is almost here and i am already looking for good christmas gifts for men that i can buy for my family.There are T-shirts, bags, clocks, hats, teddy bears and even shirts for dogs — you suggested it and we thought it was a great idea.
Today we’re releasing the Hacks/Hackers style guide. As our organization continues to grow rapidly with groups across the world (five countries and counting), it’s become clear we need visual brand consistency. We wanted to make it easier for our members to access and create high-quality logos for everything from events to websites to Hacks/Hackers gear. As our brand continues to grow, we also wanted to explain how we ended up with our logo design in the first place.
