Meet the News Product Alliance next week
Greetings, hacks and hackers! The News Product Alliance, launched last year by H/H Austin co-organizer Becca Aaronson, is holding its first event next week.
The first News Product Alliance Summit is open to anyone who works with or is interested in building news products. Registration is closed, but you can follow the group at @NewsProduct.
Happening this week:

- The security of America’s water systems came into question after a cyberattack targeted a water supply in Florida and threatened to poison thousands.
- News orgs like the AP and Quartz are cashing in on the rise of NFTs, but does selling photos and articles for cryptocurrency worth thousands of USD correlate to the journalistic value of the pieces?
