With restrictions still in place, conferences such as Newsrewired cannot take place in-person so the media industry keeps on meeting online.

Melody Kramer has written about how journalists can stay connected with each other when in-person meetings are not an option.
She writes that "having a chat room or regular Hangout feels more intimate than a Facebook group," and enables a more detailed conversation than the 280 characters allowed on Twitter.
