Editors Roundtable: The future of news (without a newsroom)
Sponsored by New England Society of News Editors
Join us for a candid discussion on how editors are running their newsroom – when the newsroom is empty. What lessons and positive changes have they experienced, and how do you work with new reporters, remotely. The panel discussion will focus on the future of news, without a newsroom. What does this look like and what does it mean for the next generation of journalists?
