Cision UK Ltd - Leading Digital Journalists Rewire the News -
Journalism.co.uk's 10th Anniversary Conference
Leading digital journalists to rewire the news at Journalism.co.uk's
10th anniversary conference
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Most weeks, you will find a journalism conference asking the same old
questions: where?s the money, what?s the point of social media, what?s
the future of journalism?
All valid questions, but they often lead to the same people having the
same conversations in front of the same audience, and coming up with the
same answers.
It's time to forget the newsroom navel-gazing with an affordable and
practical event marking Journalism.co.uk's 10th anniversary aimed at
helping journalists right now, as well as in the digital future.
news:rewired (http://www.newsrewired.com/),
a one-day event organised by Journalism.co.uk (in partnership with AudioBoo,
BBC
College of Journalism and CISION
UK) at City
University London will bring together leading multimedia journalists
and digital news editors and look beyond our industry to data experts
and e-commerce specialists, generating original ideas for ways of
working and practical advice you can use straightaway.
news:rewired
wants to help you do better journalism - whether that?s learning the
basics of videojournalism or discovering new social media tools through
which to tell your stories - by providing speakers who are already
changing how it?s done.
"It's always been our goal to educate as well as observe at
Journalism.co.uk, and news:rewired represents the culmination of our
accumulated efforts in that direction over the past decade," said
Journalism.co.uk founder John Thompson.
Multimedia, mash-ups and making money ? this is the news business
rewired.

opportunities are for online journalists.
