Fighting for quality news media in the digital age.

Full programme for News on the Move, 7 March – in association with Thomson Reuters

By Press Gazette

Here is the full programme for News on the Move – the only UK conference focusing purely on journalism and smartphones.

At a time when print circulation decline is accelerating, and news consumption on mobile devices is accelerating, there has never been a more urgent need for journalism organisations to address dramatic changes in media consumption.

If you have yet to sign up for this free conference we still have a few places left – but please note, priority will be given to Press Gazette subscribers and those who work at a senior level in digital journalism.

Press Gazette is grateful to commercial partners Apica, Atex and Bango for supporting this event – and to Thomson Reuters for hosting it.

Sign up here to attend News on the Move at Thomson Reuters on 7 March
