Leading digital journalists rewire the news: Journalism.co.uk's 10th anniversary conference
Leading digital journalists to rewire the news at Journalism.co.uk's 10th anniversary conference London, 18th December: Most weeks, you will find a journalism conference asking the same old questions: where’s the money, what’s the point of social media, what’s the future of journalism? All valid questions, but they often lead to the same people having the same conversations in front of the same audience, and coming up with the same answers. It's time to forget the newsroom navel-gazing with an affordable and practical event marking Journalism.co.uk's 10th anniversary aimed at helping journalists right now, as well as in the digital future. news:rewired (http://www.newsrewired.com/), a one-day event organised by Journalism.co.uk (in partnership with AudioBoo, BBC College of Journalism and CISION UK) at City University London will bring together leading multimedia journalists and digital news editors and look beyond our industry to data experts and e-commerce specialists, generating original ideas for ways of working and practical advice you can use straightaway. news:rewired wants to help you do better journalism - whether that’s learning the basics of videojournalism or discovering new social media tools through which to tell your stories - by providing speakers who are already changing how it’s done. "It's always been our goal to educate as well as observe at Journalism.co.uk, and news:rewired represents the culmination of our accumulated efforts in that direction over the past decade," said Journalism.co.uk founder John Thompson. Multimedia, mash-ups and making money – this is the news business rewired.
