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. 

If you’re interested in dropping by the Facebook help desk at newsrewired, please keep an eye on your email inbox – we’ll send you a short form over the next few days to find out which areas of discussion are of interest to you in order to make sure the help desk is staffed with the specialists you need.

Newsrewired takes place on 19 July at the Reuters office in Canary Wharf, London, and tickets cost £180+VAT. 

Practical learning is at the heart of the event, and attendees will hear about the latest trends and techniques in digital journalism through a mixture of panels, workshops and spotlight talks throughout the day.

With under three months left until the next news:rewired digital journalism conference, the team at Journalism.co.uk is pleased to announce the first speakers who will be joining us on the day to discuss the latest trends and techniques in online journalism.

The event takes place on 20 July at Reuters in Canary Wharf, London, with a full day of practical training on 21 July hosted at The Bridge in London Bridge.

Joining us at the conference will be speakers from the BBC, The Economist and CNN, discussing social media newsgathering, engaging communities on closed networks and measuring success.
