Building the new generation newsroom

Powered by:

The news publishing industry faces a future very different from its past. The days of "business as usual" are gone. Consumers have changed and new technologies are opening up new channels of communication. Traditional newsrooms can no longer meet modern demands.

The questions now are what does the new generation newsroom look like, and how does it operate?

For answers, join us in London for the 9th International Newsroom Summit on 8 - 9 September, which will examine a multitude of issues facing today's news publishers, including: building new audiences for print, developing paid-content strategies for digital media, designing efficient multi-title newsrooms, publishing on smart phones and creating effective hyper-local content.

This "must-attend" annual event will feature publishing industry leaders discussing innovative strategies and practical advice to help you modernise your newsroom and make the most of your resources.
