Come one, come all, to the first Interhacktives meet-up, where we ask: 

- How can online communities assist and enhance traditional journalism?
- What does a community manager actually do?
- Which are the most useful social media and online tools?

At this meet-up four experienced industry panellists will talk about their experiences of community journalism, with plenty of time for questions from the audience and a chance to meet other people working in this field. 

**Date:** Wednesday 13th March 2013 **Time:** 7pm **Venue:** [The Blacksmith & The Toffeemaker](http://theblacksmithandthetoffeemaker.co.uk/our-place.html?ref=interhacktives.mymagic.page) **Location:** Angel, Islington [Book here](http://interhacktivesmtm.eventbrite.co.uk/?ref=interhacktives.mymagic.page) **.**
