Meet the NEW Newsroom
- 25 Mar 2010
As online media challenges the sustainability of print and broadcast media, the way newsrooms operate is changing. Let us introduce you to the ‘new’ newsroom.
You will hear from a panel of some of Australia’s most respected editors and journalists from news websites, digital news channels and daily newsletter feeds. The panel will discuss:
• How the immediacy and speed of online reporting has changed their news needs and the news cycle
• The new ‘rules of engagement’ for media relations professionals in the online news environment
• The future of online vs print and broadcast media
