Announcing the first topics for April’s news:rewired conference

The one-day conference will bring together experts and innovators from the digital journalism industry for a day of inspiring presentations, practical workshops and topical discussions. Sessions will focus on the latest techniques and tools being used in forward-thinking newsrooms in the UK and beyond.

Some of the initial themes which we plan to cover at the event:

curation and the journalist as a manager
– user-generated-content and building the community into the newsgathering process
data journalism, including where to find data and initial research pointers
social standards and online etiquette

Sessions will range from panels offering presentations and discussion around certain topics, and more workshop-style sessions, offering demonstrations and practical guides to digital tools.
