2014 will be a big year for digital operations - all eyes are on the U.S.

Introduction to Event

Now fully booked! Still places left for San Francisco in Nov.

See how you measure up with the best media brands in NYC & Washington. How are their newsrooms approaching the real challenges of being digital first - and in particular, how are they working with video?

In short: how do they create and curate good content and collect enough revenue to make the investment worthwhile?

Expected visits (tbc) include:-

  • New York Times
  • Wall Street Journal
  • CBS television network
  • ESPN
  • HuffPost Live
  • News Distribution Network
  • The Washington Post
  • USA Today
  • Politico
  • Associated Press Video

What can we learn from the broadcast giants? And how are disruptive online video competitors planning to eat the lunch of the big news publishers?

U.S. companies have also led on digital storytelling. Huge investments have produced online experiences that reach new heights in journalism, draw new readers, keep them engaged and provide enormous revenue opportunities. Snowfall and the Jockey have been followed by host of other examples.

Media organisations in the U.S. are putting a lot of energy into finding ways to produce these products on a regular basis, training journalists to use new tools and then (perhaps) sell the new products, as a way to enhance their paid content strategy in 2014.
