Join the Money, Media and Elections National “Data Happy Hour”
What are you up to on Thursday night from 5-8 pm?
On Thursday we are working with our friends at the Sunlight Foundation to host a national Money, Media and Elections “Data Happy Hour”. Sunlight is opening their offices in Boston and DC and we are inviting people into the Free Press offices in Western Massachusetts. (You can also join in live anywhere via a video chat!) More info is available here: http://www.freepress.net/blog/2012/10/19/join-money-media-and-elections-national-data-happy-hour
We’ll be using the new interactive PoliticalAdSleuth.com database to input data from the political files and make it searchable, sortable and more useful for journalists, advocates and citizens. No tech skills needed.
RSVP on Facebook here or drop me a line at jstearns@freepress.net.
