news:rewired
Event Info
Description
Who it’s for:
We 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 we 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.
