\"MW_logo_625\"<\/a>An experimental space for journalism and technology and the conference playground, the Midway is the place for hands-on learning and experimentation with the most innovative tech and tools in digital journalism.<\/p>\n

Our participants are hand-selected as the most exciting and original pioneers in the industry, and in this interactive space, they thrive by doing what they do best: experiment, test, discover, and make. Unlike traditional exhibition halls, the Midway is centered around collaboration, not presentation.<\/strong> This year, new features for participants include ad space in a special insert in the ONA13 conference program, and for select ideas, the opportunity to contribute to a track of programming \u2014 discussions, lightning talks, and more \u2014 devoted to the themes and ideas of the best and brightest in the Midway.<\/p>\n
