Mun-Keat Looi, Mosaic commissioning editor, joins opening panel on journalism beyond the news cycle

The opening panel at the next newsrewired event will explore journalism beyond the 24-hour news cycle.

How do you tell stories once most of the cameras have gone? How do you keep audiences engaged?

And how can you keep track of the impact of your newsgathering and storytelling?

Today, the Journalism.co.uk team is happy to announce, Mun-Keat Looi, science writer and commissioning editor for longform science magazine Mosaic, will be joining the discussion, alongside Megan Clement, managing editor, Women’s Advancement Deeply; Emily Dugansenior reporter, BuzzFeed News; and Paul Rowland, editor, WalesOnline, and editor-in-chief, Media Wales.

He won the silver Rising Star Award at the 2015 British Media Awards.
