Announcing news:rewired – media in motion, 3 February 2012

Journalism.co.uk’s next news:rewired event will take place on 3 February at MSN’s London offices in Victoria.

What’s it about?

news:rewired – media in motion will look at the latest tools, strategies and approaches in online journalism and the use of digital technologies for innovative news production, with a focus on social and mobile developments.

Sessions at the one-day conference will cover:

  • the opportunities for online video and ways to take better advantage of the medium
  • bringing newsgames and gaming mechanics into news coverage
  • the timing and structure of social media output
  • successes and innovative approaches in mobile reporting
  • building coherent multi-platform strategies for delivering content across print, web, tablet and smartphone apps
  • standards in social media and drawing the line between professional and personal brands

In a new twist the conference will also offer workshop-style sessions to delegates, providing detailed guidance from industry experts on practical areas such as SEO, online networking, and data journalism.
