IBP Futures Group – Digital Journalism with The Guardian & Wall Street Journal

Reckon you are digitally savvy? If you’re are a B2B journalist then this might be wishful thinking.

The IBP’s Futures Group, in conjunction with City University, invites you to come and learn from two of the UK’s top digital hacks about how to up your game on social media and reader engagement at an exclusive event on 28th April. Hear about the cutting edge approaches to digital journalism being rolled out at The Guardian and The Wall Street Journal and how they could be applied at business magazines.
