Burt had first-hand knowledge of the ways journalism was splintering in the age of new media. He witnessed journalists engage technology and fail because they weren’t connecting with users or collaborating well with engineers.
He decided to do something about it and organized the first Hacks/Hackers gathering. It showed promise. Soon, he teamed up with journalists at Northwestern and the New York Times and Hacks/ Hackers was officially born.
Hacks/Hackers quickly took on a life of its own. The team set up an infrastructure to support the self-initiated chapters that began popping up across the US, and then around the world. They had started a movement.
With new support from Google, Burt still travels the world to run Hacks/Hackers events and incubate ideas, demo work, and host experts. It continues to grow organically and now has upwards of 50,000 members in 70 global chapters in places as diverse as Amman, Cape Town, Melbourne, La Paz, and Hong Kong."
