We’re pleased to announce the first speaker and session details for the next news:rewired, taking place on Thursday 6 December at MSN UK in Victoria, London.
news:rewired will bring together key digital journalism experts and innovators for a day of sessions, workshops, debates and discussion, geared towards equipping you with knowledge of the latest techniques and tools for producing top-notch digital journalism, as well as offering insight into some of the innovative projects evolving within today’s newsrooms – and outside of them.
Here are just some of the session and workshop topics that will be covered at the one-day conference:
- a look at the key digital lessons learned by news outlets in 2012
- the opportunities for long-form, in-depth journalism on digital platforms
- collecting social conversations on networked platforms
- ideas on how to measure success and make money in the coming year
- tips for effective audio storytelling
- reporting in real-time and best practice in liveblogging
- top tips for Twitter reporting strategy
Sessions will range from panels offering presentations and discussion around certain topics, and more workshop-style sessions, offering demonstrations and practical guides to digital tools.
Speakers already confirmed include:
- Bobbie Johnson, co-founder of Matter and European editor of GigaOm
- Alex Miller, executive editor of VICE UK
- Nate Lanxon, editor of Wired.co.uk
- Google+ (speaker to be confirmed)
We will be announcing more session and speaker details very soon; keep an eye on www.newsrewired.com for regular updates.
At December’s event we want to make sure delegates get to hear about as many of the tools and platforms which have launched in the past year as possible, and offer the chance to meet those behind the technology.
So this time we’re also looking to include a ‘lightning round‘ of 90-second thought provokers. Let us know if you’d like to suggest anyone to take part in this (feel free to nominate yourself) and we will select around six projects to hear about on the day. We are particularly keen to make sure this gives young innovators in the journalism industry a chance to showcase their work.
When…
