    Session 2B: The Evolving Digital-First Newsroom

    So the print and digital (i.e. web, social, mobile/apps and video) teams have finally moved into the same newsroom, a central news hub set up in the middle where all key editors are seated. With the push towards being “digital first”, the need to streamline workflows and operations has never been greater, but is it happening? A candid look at the trials and errors, successes and silver linings of this work-in-progress.

    Newsroom of the future: how different is it?

    Convergence. Superdesk. Can it really work? In the age of social media and the digital-first newsroom, placing all senior editors in one area seems like the logical solution to move away from the traditional print press setting. And with the increasingly widening roles of reporters and editors, and the blurring of lines between desks, it looks set to be that way. But is it really happening? With the widening of roles, new responsibilities and new skills to be acquired, roles with "foreign" job descriptions, previously unheard of in the newsroom, are cropping up. Welcome to the future of newsrooms.

    Road to a sustainable & scalable programmatic supply eco-system - a Singapore Media Exchange perspective

    Programmatic has been an oft-misunderstood word even today primarily due to the complexities involved in manning the buying machinery (the DSP) and even more on the publisher side due to the myriads of technology vendors on the supply side with varied models & promises of monetisation. In this landscape, is there room for a sustainable, scalable programmatic supply eco-system that could simplify the lives of both publishers and buyers alike? The answer may lie in publishers banding together to create such an environment. Hear more from SMX - the first premium programmatic exchange in Singapore - born through the coming together of two media giants in the country.

    Preparing for a fast-changing newsroom focused on collaboration, innovation and trust

    With a growing number of organisations starting to collaborate with other organisations or with different teams in their own company, newsroom staff often temporarily find themselves performing functions or roles they couldn't have predicted, let alone train for. Furthermore, journalists covering major news events are increasingly finding themselves working at the cutting edge of newsroom innovation, in a world where trust is talked about at every turn. How does a journalist prepare for a future workplace they can't predict and how can we start to normalise "niche" skills that will undoubtedly become mainstream? Fergus Bell outlines the steps to take.

    Exclusive tour of the Singapore Botanic Gardens - Singapore's UNESCO World Heritage Site

    Established in 1859 by the Agri-Horticultural Society, the Singapore Botanic Gardens was designed by Lawrence Niven, whose work reflected the English Garden style that influenced the emergence of numerous English landscape gardens and public parks from the 18th century until this period. Today, this layout, as well as its historic 19th and 20th century buildings, remains almost entirely intact. Learn about the Gardens' rich history and its role as an internationally-recognised institution of tropical botany and horticulture with a collection of over 650,000 specimens.

    This special two-hour tour for conference participants and their guests includes a visit to the National Orchid Garden with more than 700 species and 3,000 hybrids. Its VIP Garden displays hybrids named after famous personalities such as Nelson Mandela, Princess Diana, Margaret Thatcher and many world leaders. Also included is a walk through Gardens' latest 10-hectare attraction called the Learning Forest, part of its Tyersall-Gallop extension (Tyersall Park was the site of a fictional mansion estate in Kevin Kwan's "Crazy Rich Asians" trilogy). Walk through lowland rainforest and restored freshwater wetland habitats, marvel at huge palms, epiphytes and climbers from an elevated 8-metre high boardwalk on the SPH Walk of Giants and peer down at the crowns of trees forming the forest's Canopy Web.

    In the event of bad weather, participants will visit the Botany Centre which houses the Singapore Botanic Gardens Heritage Museum, Singapore Herbarium and an orchid breeding laboratory.
