Aron Pilhofer of The New York Times, Doree Shafrir of Buzzfeed, Emily Bell of the Tow Center for Digital Journalism in New York are just three of the many international speakers who will participate in workshops and presentations at the 2013 International Journalism Festival, as well as many personalities of the Italian publishing and media scene. In a series of multi-thematic events related to innovation in the journalistic landscape, old paradigms will be kindly put to bed and new instruments will be discussed.
Topics include the big thing of online information, the irruption of social media in news distribution and the rise of the so-called “social TV,” the new issue of the aggregation of content, the transition towards the digital through the words of the protagonists and the approach to new responsive models, the live story and storytelling and, of course, data journalism. Other subjects range from the critical communicability of “Europe” as protagonist to violence against women, or the legal aspects of the professional and amateur practice of online journalism, live coverage in emergency situations, fact-checking, liquid and “hyperlocal” newsrooms looking for a digital first strategy.
This series of free events – no reservations and while seats last – will enliven the Festival for five days giving a complete and updated picture of the worldwide journalistic debate.
Note that the workshops/presentations specific to data journalism and ONA have been covered in previous posts.
