Here at Journalism.co.uk we’ve been busy working on ideas for our next news:rewired digital journalism conference, which takes place in London on Friday 20 September.
It is our tenth event, the second so far in 2013, and we’re planning a jam-packed day of inspiring presentations, practical workshops and expert tips and techniques.
We will continue to work on the agenda during the coming weeks, but for now, here are just a few of the subjects we plan to cover on the day:
- breaking news and crisis journalism
- verification tools and techniques
- mapping
- online video
We will be announcing more details on the agenda and speaker line-up soon.
In the meantime, to get an idea of the usual format, you can still view the programme from our most recent event, which was on Friday 19 April, which included a keynote speech by Facebook’s journalism programme manager Vadim Lavrusik and speakers from the Economist, Channel 4 News, Washington Post, ProPublica, Financial Times and many more.
If you’re interested in attending the one-day event on Friday 20 September, which will be held in London at MSN UK’s offices in Victoria, then you can buy limited early bird discount tickets for just £95 +VAT.
Once all 50 tickets have been sold, or after Friday 31 May, whichever comes first, the ticket price will rise to £130 +VAT. These tickets are already selling, so if you wish to secure the discounted rate, don’t delay!
‘news:rewired plus’ option:
As well as the discounted conference-only ticket (for £95 +VAT) there is also the option of a ‘news:rewired plus’ ticket, at an early bird discount rate of £280 +VAT, which gives entry to news:rewired on Friday 20 September as well as access to a Journalism.co.uk training course the day before (Thursday 19 September).
Delegates can choose from the three training courses below, to attend on the Thursday:
- Introduction to open data for journalists: finding stories in data – with Kathryn Corrick, Open Data Institute and Lisa Evans, School of Data
