Redefining premium every day
Desktop, smartphones, digital, mobile, branded content, video, AI, programmatic, targeting, data…the list goes on as do the trends. What is hot today will become out-dated tomorrow. As advertisers now have a plethora of mediums to tell their stories, Publishers must run simply to stand still. Yet whilst we find ourselves running, do we know to where it is we are going? Advertising enables us to ensure a sustainable future and support the purpose for which we were created. But are our advertising solutions really premium? Each of us Publishers is unique and success requires a tailored approach. The Bridge, News UK’s commercial department, is News UK’s response to creating a commercial organisation built to tactically address the trends today whilst ensuring we are ready for the trends tomorrow.

Austria has found its own way: At the beginning of 2017, the “Austria Video Platform” launched. The plan: A national broadcaster shares its video content for publishers to use on their news portals, ad revenues are split. A win-win for everyone? Alexis Johann will share the first results.

Breakfast Session
Location:Main RoomThe future of content in the age of platforms
Breakfast session given by our Gold Sponsor
In the last six months, our global political climate has changed, and both news production and consumption has changed as well. There is stronger support for quality journalism and subscriptions, and more questions around the role of platforms like Facebook and Google. What does the latest data teach us about the state of quality in the news? Is what people write about, read about and share the same? What can major global news events like Brexit, the U.S. Election and now the French election teach us about how consumers engage with content?
Chartbeat CEO John Saroff has evaluated the data and will share with you the most interesting trends we are seeing around the world related to content consumption and distribution, as well as what news organizations can do today and tomorrow to act on it.Speakers

Breakfast Session
Location:Foredragssalen (adjacent room)WELT’s journey from a classical publisher towards a tech publisher
Breakfast session given by CCI
Due to the fusion of WELT (print) and N24 (TV), WeltN24 reinvented the whole digital product line and a major part of the infrastructure. In this session, Director of Development Lajos Lange, will show how WeltN24 transformed their whole product development department towards a lean, agile and fast editorial service fabric. He will demonstrate the huge opportunities a cloud offers by discussing their journey to the cloud and a DevOps culture.
For many years, the editorial office worked efficiently in a cross media newsroom with a combined solution of CCI NewsGate and Escenic. The newly developed CUE system is the next evolutionary step towards a combined content hub by gluing together all the important editorial services WeltN24 implements. As a CCI development partner, Lajos Lange will show how they use CUE to create the most effective workflows for the diverse roles in the newsroom.Speakers
