[from news: rewired]On 14 January 2010 we're holding news:rewired - a one-day event that will break away from journalism conferences asking the same old questions: where's the money, what's the point of social media, what's the future of journalism?These are all valid questions, but often involve the same people, having the same conversations, in front of the same audience, coming up with the same answers.It's time to forget the newsroom navel-gazing with an affordable and practical event to help journalists right now, as well as in the digital future.news:rewired at City University, London, will bring together leading multimedia journalists and digital news editors and look beyond our industry to data experts and e-commerce specialists, generating original ideas for ways of working and practical advice you can use straightaway.Who's it for?Journalists: staffers, freelancers, editors, newsroom executives, trainees and students from all sectors, as well as those looking to get back into the industry.Journalism trainers, tutors and teachers.Anyone in media, journalism and communications with an interest in where our industry is headed.What's going on?Session 1: Multimedia: Choose from three groups: videojournalism; social media for journalists; a troubleshooting panel for all your online journalism needs.Session 2: Collaboration: Take your pick from three discussions on forming partnerships, covering: user-generated content, data and local media.Session 3: Making Money: No event for modern-day journalists would be worth attending without a discussion on making money. But there'll be no wishful 'blue sky thinking' here, just a look at what's worked, what hasn't and where the opportunities are for online journalists.
