More speakers join us at July’s event to discuss local journalism

How can you reach the untold stories in your patch? Are there blank spots in local coverage? Can national news outlets be truly representative of the audience they serve and burst through the London or Paris bubble? 

The opening panel at newsrewired on 19 July explores how news organisations of various sizes relate to local news, how they find stories in their communities and how they report beyond the location of their main offices in large cities.

The Journalism.co.uk team is happy to announce two more speakers will be joining us for the session, from Archant and the Hackney Citizen.

New on the agenda: Political journalism and election reflections

Could your election coverage use a refresh? Are you striking the right balance between covering the day-to-day goings on in Parliament and covering the concerns of constituents? Do you think political journalism is in dire need of new approaches and some innovation?

With the next newsrewired digital journalism conference fast approaching (19 July, London), the Journalism.co.uk team has added a new panel to the agenda to help delegates find answers to the questions above.

Speakers from The Telegraph and Reuters will discuss their organisations’ take on election coverage, the role polls should play in the reporting, the ‘surprise’ factor in the result of the EU Referendum, the US election, and the UK general election, and the current state of political journalism.

Delegates at newsrewired on 19 July will be able to drop by the Facebook help desk during the day to discuss products, engineering, get advice on how to best use the platform, and find out more about the work Facebook is doing around false news, training, and journalists’ safety.

The Facebook Journalism Project launched in January with three key aims: collaborative development of news products; training and tools for journalists, including e-learning courses and support for working with eyewitness media; and training and tools for everyone, promoting news literacy and working on tools to curb news hoaxes.
