We have been busy organising our next Newsrewired event, listening to your feedback and thinking hard about the most pressing topics – and savvy speakers – newsroom innovators need to hear about, and from. Here's two dates to mark in your diary.

The Newsrewired study tour: 13 May - gives you exclusive access into London newsrooms for a day of user-centric learning. Details on the study tour are still in the works. One of the confirmed stops is Reach plc's national title, The Mirror.

The Newsrewired conference: 14 May, in the heart of London, at News UK, home of The Sun, The Times and Sunday Times, Talk TV and more . The scenic 17th-floor view of the British capital alone is worth the trip. But our star-studded line-up is truly the main attraction: offering you only practical, immediate and expert advice to take back to your newsroom.

Here's what we have planned for you. Our deepest thanks to all the speakers who have agreed to come and share their wisdom with the room.

Keynote: Ezra Eeman – the second act of AI in media

Ezra Eeman, strategy and innovation director at NPO (the Dutch Public Broadcaster) and lead of the WAN-IFRA AI in Media initiative, will deliver a keynote that cuts to the heart of journalism’s AI predicament.

Eeman brings a rare perspective on how technology is reshaping the media landscape. He is also the author of the Wayfinder newsletter and influential Wayfinder Trends Report, which map the shifting terrain of media, technology, and culture.

His latest Wayfinder report identified an industry-defining paradox: while two-thirds of people now use AI regularly and newsrooms increasingly rely on these tools, trust in AI remains stubbornly low (just over half of people).

This "Upside Down" moment — where reliance on AI grows even as doubts deepen — raises urgent questions for journalists and publishers. How do we build credibility and transparency when machines, not platforms or publishers, are becoming the main gateway to information? The state is set.

Panel: A new framework for editorial decision making in the algorithm era

Kassy Cho, Alessandro Accorsi, Valeriia Voshchevska

In today’s platform-driven media, journalism often unfolds alongside creators and activists, subject to opaque moderation and the risk of being misread as "activism." This panel brings together three frontline perspectives:

Kassy Cho (Almost): Leads a youth-driven newsroom navigating platform moderation and trust-building with young audiences, often facing visibility loss and institutional barriers.

Alessandro Accorsi: Journalist and researcher, examining how digital systems and moderation policies shape conflict narratives and public understanding.

Valeriia Voshchevska: Ukrainian digital storyteller, reporting wartime realities where visibility can mean both solidarity and personal risk.
