Announcing the next news:rewired – video focus, 16 March

Journalism.co.uk is pleased to announce the next news:rewired digital journalism conference will take place on 16 March 2016 at Reuters, in Canary Wharf, London.

Video has been dominating digital and social strategies as more people engage with visual posts online and on their mobile phones. Facebook alone reported 8 billion daily video views and Snapchat boasts 6 billion video plays every day. With so much choice out there, how can media outlets keep viewers interested and engaged?

News:rewired 'video focus' will explore the latest trends and techniques in editorial video. The topics we are currently looking at include:

• the rise of 360-degree video and its value;
• how to put together a successful social video plan and find the right format for the platform;
• working with livestreaming apps both as an engagement tool and a source of eyewitness media;
• engaging online video; from interactive videos, to longform documentaries and making TV content work online;
• the apps and tools you need for the job.

More details about the speakers and the full programme for the day will be announced soon.
