TechRaking II: Gaming the News Interested in the intersection of news and games? In the second installment of our TechRaking conference series, gaming industry executives, designers and artists will convene with investigative journalists to explore how gaming platforms can be used to reach and engage citizens in investigative journalism.  TechRaking II will take place tomorrow, September 19, at IGN’s headquarters in downtown San Francisco and is co-presented with our partners at Public Radio International and the Online News Association. See a full schedule of events here. In addition to participating in discussions with industry leaders, conference participants will be divided into teams and challenged to develop pitches for news games that connect players in radically new ways. The winning team will receive $10,000 worth of development time from Coco Studios to jump-start its idea with CIR!
