The Newsroom Summit 2021

The Newsroom Summit 2021

Meet with Newsroom Leaders around the World!

With a reluctance of many staff to give up their work-from-home privileges, changes made in 2020 and 2021 may well become permanent. So, the romantic depiction of the crowded, chaotic newsroom could be assigned to history. How do newsroom leaders harness the creativity, bonds and energy that made physical newsrooms buzz with ideas that were both good for readers and revenue?


We met with the next generation leaders who are keeping the spark alive and delivering value for subscribers!

 

  

 

This year we devoted one day on CMS solutions.

 

The first day of the Newsroom Summit was a dedicated CMS day with a focus on how the CMS supports paid content goals - from producing more engaging content to integration with subscription systems and multi-platform distribution. We heard about trends, reviewed whether your own CMS is still fit for purpose, and learned how other publishers have approached the selection process.
