news:rewired - full stream ahead is to take place on the 13 July and will bring together key digital journalism experts for a day of sessions and workshops, focused on the latest tools, techniques and tips on how to produce the best journalism online and make it earn its keep, with innovative case studies from the industry, say the organisers.
Sessions at the one-day conference will cover:
• how to work with and maximise engaged communities across platforms
• the latest developments in mobile news publishing and how best to exploit portable platforms
• the array of social media platforms at a journalist's disposal, beyond (and including) Twitter and Facebook
• advice on handling rumour online and the recommended verification and correction processes
• money matters - the latest approaches to making money from news online and what users are prepared to offer in exchange for content
• how the 'live stream' approach to digital news reporting and live social feeds are being built into traditional news output
news:rewired - full stream ahead will also offer a handful of workshop-style sessions, offering demonstrations by industry experts on practical areas including using visual tools to map and illustrate stories and how to scrape data from websites.
