US Newsrooms Study Tour

Join our exclusive study tour from October 13–17, 2024, for a rare opportunity to see how American newsrooms are responding to the profound shifts in media and tech. 

We’ll visit iconic and emerging newsrooms in New York and Washington DC, where you’ll meet newsroom leaders and see how they are adapting and innovating in response to today’s complex and disruptive challenges.

Over four days, you’ll gain insight into revamped editorial strategies and see first hand how AI and technology are reshaping the newsroom – from storytelling, investigations, production, to fact-checking and engagement.

We will kick off in New York with a welcome dinner for participants on the evening of October 13, followed by visits to some of the city’s most influential newsrooms and media organizations in the U.S. We will meet analysts mapping industry changes and challenges, and some of the disruptors. The tour will end in Washington DC on October 17.

What you’ll get:

• Direct discussions with American newsroom leaders about their future strategies 
• Insight into the practical use of AI and tech tools, and how they’re transforming operations and supporting journalism
• Conversations about audience engagement, and product innovation in newsrooms
• A unique opportunity to make lasting connections with colleagues from around the world
