The next news:rewired digital journalism conference, which takes place on Friday 20 September, will cover a range of subjects, including breaking news, verification, mapping and online video.
The agenda will also offer a variation of session styles, from panel discussions and case-study presentations, to more practical workshops.
One of the workshops which will be on offer to delegates at the event will focus on LinkedIn, giving delegates a run-through of the different features available to help them in their news.
The workshop will be run by:
Richard George, corporate communications manager, EMEA, LinkedIn
Darain Faraz, communications manager, LinkedIn
The workshop will help journalists:
Find out how the world’s largest professional network can power your reporting: from finding expert comment and keeping up-to-date with the organisation on your beat, to establishing your own professional identity and driving traffic for your stories.
Other workshops running at news:rewired will include one dedicated to verification tools and techniques, run by Storyful’s Claire Wardle, and another detailing some of the key mapping tools for journalists working on data visualisations, run by data editor for the Guardian, James Ball.
Here is more on the initial agenda and speaker details announced earlier this week. We will have more details to share soon.
