The BBC College of Journalism and Polis at the London School of Economics are holding a major conference looking at the Public Value of Journalism in 2010.
We want this to be the biggest gathering of networked journalists ever seen in the UK and we will try to answer some of the most important questions facing the industry today:
- What can new forms of journalism offer the digital society?
- Can blogging, social media and mobile deliver quality, accuracy and universal access?
- What impact will this have on politics and political reporting?
- How will journalism be funded?
Coming just after the UK election, this conference aims to provide a perfect opportunity to review the role of networked journalism in a democracy.
There will be debates, discussions and keynote speeches from some of the most respected figures in the UK and global media:
