CredCon, a technology & ideas hackathon brought to you by the Credibility Coalition and sponsored by the Facebook Journalism Project, Craig Newmark Philanthropies, Knight Foundation, Hacks/Hackers and the University of Texas at Austin, aims to address the challenge of reducing misinformation online and strengthening content credibility through interdisciplinary collaboration. The event will build upon the highly popular MisinfoCon events that took place at MIT, and in London, Kyiv and Washington, DC.
Our team is thrilled to be hosting a diverse group of participants from a variety of backgrounds. We welcome hackathon newcomers to the event, too, whether you’re a designer, journalist, developer, communicator, or advocate. Thanks to our sponsors, we have a pool of limited travel and housing stipends to help subsidize the cost of attending. Stipends will be made available through the application process above.
