Upstarts

Friday, 9 Oct 2015, 02:00pm - 03:00pm
New publications are coming along all the time and not all of them are online-only. Why is everyone from established international new media organisations to local publishers launching new titles? What are these upstarts offering that established publications do not?
In conversation with Tim Dunlop, we’ll hear from Erik Jensen, editor of the Saturday Paper; Nick Melin, co-founding editor of Spook magazine; and Simon Crerar, Australia editor at Buzzfeed. The four will discuss the current state of the new-new media landscape.
This event is also available as part of the Friday Day Pass.
