There has never been a more exciting or challenging time to be in journalism. The pace of change enabled by the rapid development and convergence of new technology means that within years the media environment will be almost unrecognisable. Join in the
conversation to discuss what the future holds.
Who will pay for journalism? What do news organisations mean when they say: "Premium Content"? What sort of new skills will journalists have to learn? What is the outlook for freelancers?
We'll be discussing these and many other questions: come and join the discussion. Download a copy of the agenda here.
