Application Form: Global Forum Dialogue (Canada-India)
In a 1.5-hour global dialogue with international Journalism peers from Whistling Woods International in Mumbai, India you will have the opportunity to address the topic, Do journalists need social media? News organizations are doing everything they can to attract and engage news audiences, including experimenting with more content on social media. But is that what will draw in a younger audience that is more likely to trust information from an influencer than a journalist? And should media spend money catering to platforms that can turn around and block news content? Join this international discussion exploring if social media are a useful tool or a waste of time for journalism.
