How the Newsrewired team is supporting you in these uncertain times

While most of us have set up our workstations inside our homes, many journalists are out in the streets, keeping on serving their communities when they need them the most.

Whatever your current setup, you may still be struggling to adjust to the new routine. What tools can you use to replicate your work in the physical newsroom? How to keep your audience up to date without overwhelming them? How to stay motivated and, crucially, sane? 

As the future of in-person events is still unclear, we are stepping up our online efforts to cover the stories that matter the most to the journalism community right now.

Covid-19 update: let’s make our community stronger during these strange times

If there is one thing we know for sure during these uncertain times, it is that the things will not be back to normal within a few days or weeks.

For the past 10 years, Newsrewired has been bringing the digital publishing community together to share knowledge, make new contacts and start new collaborations that foster innovation in the sector.

Zooming in on revenue streams

As half of publishers bet on reader revenue as their main source of income in 2020, there is no hiding from the fact that news is no longer largely subsidised by advertising. Newsrooms are increasingly in charge of developing new, engaged audiences, as well as understanding metrics and creating new revenue streams.

We are pleased to announce that George Brock, a journalist, consultant, and visiting professor at City, University of London, will be joining the panel that will zoom in on different revenue options. Speakers will also shed light on what kind of revenue is best suited for what newsroom, inspiring the delegates to explore new ways to make their work sustainable.

Learn how to start using artificial intelligence in your newsroom (before it is too late)

The upcoming Newsrewired conference, taking place on 4 June at MediaCityUK, will feature a workshop where delegates will learn how to start implementing artificial intelligence (AI) in their everyday journalistic work.

The session will be led by Charlie Beckett, a professor in the Department of Media and Communications and founding director of Polis, the London School of Economics’ international journalism think-tank.

Newsrewired is coming to MediaCityUK

The next Newsrewired digital journalism conference will take place on 4 June 2020 at MediaCityUK in Greater Manchester.

After 10 years of great talks and networking in London, the Journalism.co.uk team is taking the 26th Newsrewired conference to another UK city renowned for innovation in digital publishing – Manchester.

Salford’s MediaCityUK is a thriving media hub: home to BBC, ITV, University of Salford and more than 250 smaller media and digital businesses. We are looking to offer our delegates a high-profile networking opportunity with regional media professionals, as well as a conference programme that brings latest thinking and innovation in digital publishing.

Newsrewired proudly supports PressPad to foster greater diversity in UK newsrooms

94 per cent of UK journalists are white. 86 per cent have gone to university. 78 per cent of 18-34- year-olds cannot afford to live in London, away from home, to do unpaid internships and get their foot in the door. PressPad is trying to change that.

Why Forbes bought UK business publication The Memo as part of its European expansion

The acquisition has seen The Memo’s back catalogue of content transferred to Forbes.com, thus making it accessible to 80 million readers worldwide. As the title ceased to exist, its team of 80 has joined Forbes, which allowed the business publisher to expand its network of contributors across the continent to more than 200.
