Technology Group - The Shapeshift of tech media: Why, How & Where to now?

Overview

The PRCA's Technology Group would like to invite you to attend their next meeting on - The Shapeshift of tech media: Why, How & Where to now?

Description

Panelists: Bobbie Johnson, GigaOm; Duncan Geere, Wired; Bryan Glick, Computer Weekly; Mike Simons, ComputerWorld; Matt Warman, Telegraph + more tbc 

It’s no secret that the media landscape as we know it is changing. Many traditional print titles have either faced closure or cut back on the frequency of their editions. Many run a skeleton staff or rely solely on part-time journalists or freelance contributions. Tech stories in national press are hard to come by and tend to focus on consumer issues. Bloggers and journalists alike face a constant battle to maintain editorial independence. It has even been suggested that the PR industry has helped create a new form of journalism, where journalists ‘need to think more like PR agencies’ to survive.  Social media has played its part in turning the news industry upside down too. We all participate in news today - it has become a more social, diverse and partisan animal.

During this session, we will explore the changing face of tech media and ask which strategies will pay the dividends required to stay in business. We will also look at the impact of PR and social media on news. Join us and our panelists for an insightful session on the future of news at 5.30pm on Tuesday 26th June at Hill+Knowlton Strategies offices on Soho Squar (nearest tubes: Tottenham Court Road/Leicester Square) as our panel of technology journalists fight for readers, recognition and reputation.

Tickets are restricted to two attendees per organisation.
