Journalism and open government data are inextricably intertwined. Journalists are constantly using data, especially from local governments, to build narratives. And they are also putting out data.



Chicago Inno (http://chicagoinno.com) is Chicago's premier news source for urban innovators in the city. The people and organizations that they write about are the future of the city.



Will Flannigan (GM of Chicago Inno) and staff writer Jim Dalike will talk about journalism and data in Chicago, and also hit on the startups and brands that do a good job of pitching its data to the media, i.e. Uber, SpotHero, Wallet Hub, Zillow, etc.
