From video and social posts to interactive data stories, the modern newsroom is an increasingly visual place – and journalists comfortable in this multimedia landscape are in extremely high demand.
But how can non-specialist journalists break into visual storytelling? What tools are available? And where to start?
This session surveys the scene and does a deep dive on two of the leading tools in visual journalism: Canva, which is transforming newsroom workflows from social to video, podcasts to newsletters; and Flourish, widely used globally for data visualization and interactive content.
Unmissable for any journalist who wants to not only to survive, but thrive, in the visual media landscape.
This session is designed for:
- Journalists looking for ways to successfully pair compelling visuals with credible editorial content to increase audience attention.
- Entire teams looking to develop visual content at speed, ease and with brand consistency.
- Technologists wanting to stand out in a hyper-competitive landscape and interested in learning more about easy-to-use and off-the-shelf tools.
