Walkley Foundation to stage four day focus on journalism after the media revolution

Journalism organisation The Walkley Foundation and journo union the Media Alliance will next month stage a major four day event in Sydney looking at what will follow the current changes to the media landscape.

The gathering – “What’s the Story? Powerful narrative and other tales from the future” – will aim to go beyond the ongoing business crisis facing traditional media organisations. As well as international guests, it will include senior sopeakers from News Ltd, Fairfax and Google.   

Announcing the conference, the Walkley Foundation said: “This is a unique event with narrative and the desire to craft great stories linking journalists, authors, industry leaders, freelancers, digital media creators, film-makers and creators of all kinds in discussion on how to survive and thrive in a new and uncertain—but exciting—digital era.”
