Introduction to Event

UPDATE - 25.04.14: This ST is now cancelled but we are looking to organise again at a later date. In the meantime, sign up for our newsroom tour to New York here or contact Nick Tjaardstra direct for more details.

Newsrooms need to find a new rhythm for an increasingly complicated workflow. You might be digital first or even mobile first. Perhaps there is an evening tablet edition, and of course, you can’t forget the printed product.

Study Tour - WEF - Fitter Newsrooms

All that might call for multiple morning meetings, afternoon meetings and maybe even an hourly huddle.

In this never-ending news cycle with varying priorities, workflow, technology and teams need be in sync. Tools and efficiency are key.

Experts suggest we disrupt the newsroom culture and find new rhythms to deliver more with less.

Scandinavia and Germany have made big investments in newsrooms and workflow and we plan to visit and learn from the most sophisticated news publishers.

NEW FORMAT: To help you get the most from your newsroom visits, this Study Tour will start with an expert briefing on Scandinavian newsroom trends from our expert Håkan Helander. Håkan has over 15 years experience as a consultant in the Scandinavian media industry with a focus on newsroom workflow and has completed assignments in more than 50 newspapers and magazines.
