Impact and Influence of Journalism
About this premium video
Key themes for this session include: how do editors take the rest of the business with them? How to influence your own newsroom on business questions? What do publishing CEOs want from their newsroom leaders? The session starts with David Walmsley, editor-in-chief of Canada’s The Globe and Mail, who shares lessons from how they transformed their newsroom with artificial intelligence and freed journalists to do what they do best. We then dive into newsroom culture with Espen Egil Hansen, international advisor with JP/Politiken, and founder of Fyrr, who describes culture as the critical factor in success or failure for a publisher. He walks us through his industry-leading approach to editorial influence in the newsroom and to the rest of the business. Next, we hear from Maribel Perez Wadsworth, president of news for Gannett | USA Today Network, and publisher of USA Today, who shares how to unlock the power of journalism and align the value of content to business goals.
