The next news:rewired
The first news:rewired event took place on 14 January 2010 at City University London and you can read some of the coverage here.
We’re now starting to plan our next event – focusing on journalists with a specialism, whether that’s working for a niche publisher, reporting for a B2B title or trawling your local area for stories.
We’ve got our own ideas about what should be on the agenda and who we’d like to speak, but we’re open to suggestions, offers of support and sponsorship.
