The Journo-Tech Community Has Evolved, But How?

Over the last decade, hackers have joined the ranks of newsrooms large and small, non-profits and for-profits. We now have many tribes of news nerds, journo-hackers, data wranglers and user experience researchers. Is there a job description that actually details what we do? What are the ingredients of a successful team? We’ll discuss titles, salary, teams and other murky but critical questions in the journalism and developer communities.
