Digital and Journalism

Newspaper Headlines

MWF is keen to provide opportunities to engage with the business of writing – and how it’s being shaped by the digital world.

Don't miss New News 2011, an innovative, optimistic two-day conference about the future of journalism, designed to connect readers, listeners and viewers with the people who run the media and produce its content. 

And all those with a stake in the future of books can get involved with our ‘unconference’, Bookcamp – a one-day, user-generated conversation with a mission to explore the future of new book technologies.
