Volatile times: The opportunities facing news media by 2017
Keynote Dialog
By Jim Chisholm, International Consultant, UK
&
Per Mikael Jensen, President & CEO, Metro International, Denmark
In the first keynote presentation, Jim Chisholm will outline a possible future media landscape, and where the pressures and potentials for growth in media influence and profitability might lie:
- The dynamics of analogue versus digital
- The vice of the device
- What will be the future economics of news
In the second keynote presentation, Per Mikael will try to provoke a healthy debate about why paid and news are two words almost impossible to say in the same sentence. For Metro International, every single trend (apart from high-pay rights- protected content and, to some degree, niche content of high quality) is pointing towards free.
According to him, "when we launched metro in 1995, we were competing with a lot of you guys. That is no longer the case. We all compete with 2 guys and a girl (the manager) in a garage, surrounded by protein-bars and green tea and busy developing the next 'best aggregator to fulfill all your needs'. And your local Public Service provider."
Key Takeaways: NEWS! participants will gain invaluable insight into what their news organisations will look like in ten years time… and how to drive the changes necessary to their survival.
Keywords: business models, audience, trends, prospective, advertising

Social-Local-Mobile: the future of regional news?

Ethics in the Fast Lane
Ethical journalism is thinking journalism, but in the open-information environment, when news comes from all sides at a cracking pace, journalists have little time to check facts, verify images or reflect on tricky editorial dilemmas. They are tested most of all when the big story breaks. This session using previously unpublished footage analyses how media in Norway covered the 2011 Oslo terror bombing and massacre of mainly youngsters on a holiday island. These shocking events provide rich material for a fresh debate about the struggle for ethical journalism in the age of instant news.
Key Takeaways: This session will show NEWS! delegates how to set ethical standards in an age when speed is more than ever the essence of news gathering.
Keywords: ethical journalism, fact-checking, privacy, public interest

Joint session with the Reuters Institute, Oxford University
Are Social Magazines and Newsreading Apps game changers?
Personalised news and information aggregation platforms for tablets and smart phones are creating easy methods for users to access and bundle content from multiple information providers and social networks and then to view them a magazine or organised. How might Flipboard, Newsmix, Pulse, and other services affect traditional news providers as primary sources? Is partnering with these services desirable? Are we at the dawn of a news consumption revolution with less brand recognition and trust in friends and colleagues?
Key Takeaways: NEWS! participants will learn how to take advantage of rapidly evolving social media tools and how to increase their own editorial influence.
