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.
