Luncheon: From Black and White to Bits and Bytes: Atlanta Journal-Constitution Editor Kevin Riley Ryan Shares Insights on the New Age of News
The business of gathering and reporting news has undergone massive change in this decade, and while some outlets have struggled to adapt, others have evolved to become more relevant and accessible. No longer limited by print deadlines or a one-hour nightly broadcast, news is reported all day, every day, both by professional reporters and citizen journalists. In this landscape, news outlets are required to build a new kind of relationship with readers, competing with myriad voices that are vying for their trust.
During the luncheon, Riley will explore this new age of news, and how technology and reader engagement has made ours a smaller, better connected world. Public relations practitioners will learn how to adjust to current news gathering methods, assist and influence producers, and meet the needs of editors and reporters in a 24x7 cycle.
Check in begins at 11:30 a.m., and the luncheon runs until 1:00 p.m. Luncheon details and registration: http://bit.ly/1pCMCOU Online registration is available until August 13. Maggiano's Buckhead is located at 3368 Peachtree Road NE, Atlanta, GA 30326.
