The journalism track
Global media is changing by the day. Fourth Estate is the place where the world’s leading journalists explore what’s happening now, and envision the next leap forward.
As media continue to change forms, Fourth Estate gathers the people at the frontlines to discuss what’s next. We’ll examine the industry across the spectrum, from the stalwarts of traditional media to the figures pioneering the fight for something new.
Your ticket gives you access to all Fourth Estate sessions, as well as roundtables, masterclasses and 15-plus other tracks at Collision.
Tech has upended how news is created and consumed. Mainstream legacy outlets have been put under pressure to remain relevant in the face of competition from podcasts, subscription services, and open-source news outlets. What does the decentralisation of news mean for the fourth estate?
How can journalists and storytellers ensure their stories are read by a new generation of digital consumers? Diversity – in the newsroom, on the page, on the screen – is one driver of change. Representation matters and this will drive future news values, rewriting what makes the news and why. Listen to the media experts on why diversity and inclusion can not only build audience trust but also translate to new revenue streams.
Legacy journalism lives alongside social media platforms where toxic discourse, misinformation and disinformation often spread faster than the truth. There has been a global drop in institutional trust and journalists are on the front line of the new culture wars. How can media organisations win audience trust and provide fact-based news coverage in a fragmented digital landscape?
What price are you willing to pay for news? There appears to be no easy answer as news organisations continue to struggle with digital business models and print disappears. We explore the best approaches to monetisation.
