Manager of journalism and news at Twitter Mark Luckie will deliver the keynote speech at

news:rewired

on Friday 19 April. Luckie joined Twitter in June last year to act "as a liaison between Twitter and the journalism community".

In his role, Luckie explores how journalists and newsrooms use Twitter and ways to share news in improved and creative ways on the platform.

He joined Twitter from the Washington Post, where he was social media editor after joining two years previously as national innovations editor.

Prior to his role at the Post he was the founder of journalism and technology site 10,000 Words , now owned by Mediabistro.

At Twitter, Luckie uses his past experience in the fields of journalism and technology to innovate ways for social media and news to work in tandem.

From everyday news to big events like the Olympics and presidential election, he is using Twitter to connect audiences around the world.

Luckie, who is based in New York, will deliver the keynote speech to delegates at the one-day digital journalism conference, to be held at MSN UK's offices in Victoria, London. He will also join a panel in a later session, for a discussion on online journalism ethics and standards, where he will focus on best practice when using Twitter.

Delegates attending

news:rewired

will enjoy a day of inspiring presentations, practical workshops and topical discussions.

Sessions will focus on the latest techniques and tools being used in forward-thinking newsrooms in the UK and beyond.

Subjects to be covered at the conference include curation and the journalist as manager; user-generated-content and building participatory communities; data journalism, including where to find data as well as data-driven storytelling; and a look at social standards and best practice for online interactions.

We will be announcing more session and speaker details very soon; keep an eye on www.newsrewired.com for regular updates.
