Hosted by Journalism.co.uk, news:rewired is for journalists and anyone interested in where the industry is headed.
“There has never been a more exciting time to be a journalist,” said Channel 4 news presenter Jon Snow earlier this year.
It’s fair to say there’s never been a more challenging time either, as economic, social and technological developments irreversibly change the shape of the newsroom and the face of the media landscape.
Who it’s for:
They want news:rewired to be an event for working journalists, trainees, journalism students and academics to learn new multimedia, social media and online skills from those with first-hand experience.
This event will be informal – with plenty of time for questions, networking and hopefully some new partnerships.
What they hope you’ll get:
- First-hand advice on using new technologies, tools and skills for online journalism, whether that’s presentation or newsgathering;
- Practical case studies from those who are pioneering new techniques in journalism;
- Advice on what works and what doesn’t – from video and audio, to third-party websites and using data;
- A chance to meet, network and share ideas with colleagues from across the industry.
To help the industry navigate its way through this new terrain, Journalism.co.uk is pleased to introduce news:rewired, a brand new one-day journalism event for 2010 at City University.
They’re gathering together some of the best people on the UK digital news scene to present what they do and how they do it.Everyone is welcome, whether from one-person media enterprises to large news organisations.
As the UK’s leading site for journalists, Journalism.co.uk will bring together those journalists who are pioneering new forms of storytelling, multimedia journalism and business models fit for a digital future. news:rewired will host talks by some of the leading names in online journalism and new media. Speakers include Jon Bernstein (former multimedia editor for Channel 4), Kate Day (communities editor at Telegraph.co.uk), Mark Rock (AudioBoo CEO), David Dunkley Gyimah (Southbank artist-in-residence and video pioneer), Ruth Barnett (Sky News multimedia producer and ‘Twitter correspondent’), and Mariana Bettio (search content producer, TimesOnline).
