12th International Newsroom Summit

Explore how to break down barriers to optimise your newsroom for editorial and commercial success! Join editors and experts leading the digital media revolution for one and a half days of networking, discussion and case studies. It’s an investment that will help you:

  • Rethink your boundaries: geographic, platform, audience, team;
  • Remap your newsroom, its tools, people and processes;
  • Remove traditional, outmoded walls;
  • Reskill for a mobile future and any further digital disruption.
