See top talents in international news media explore their future at News Xchange in Amsterdam!
The current media landscape is ever fragmenting, and facts are becoming more elusive. Which steps should serious news organisations take, and what are their responsibilities? News Xchange covers these questions and more in an international conference.
Qualitative news in the modern era
The importance of discussing the norms, values and approach of qualitative and independent journalism has reached new heights in the modern era, giving a great sense of urgency and importance to the matters discussed at News Xchange.
The media landscape constantly hardens, disperses and polarises at top speed. Paid news platforms, one-sided news sites and populist social media movements are on the rise, but how do serious media platforms act as a counter movement in the Netherlands and abroad?
Goals
Reaching and involving readers, telling the whole story and presenting the controllable facts with impact and credibility, making sure there is enough diversity and staying relatable, creating a new appreciation for qualitative and serious news - these are goals that News Xchange discusses and strives for.
