One of the advantages of being a Web editor at Reed is that each year you are treated to an Editors' Conference to highlight the latest trends and issues in publishing. Such is the case this Friday
Wotton House, Dorking, is the location, and I for one am looking forward to it. Topics covered will include the value of different types of user generated content, the future of journalism, editorial tools and workflow, email newsletters and using video...
It should be interesting, and a chance to pick a lot of people's brains.
In addition to internal Reed speakers, there will be the BBC's Robin Hamman, sharing his thoughts. As well as being a journalist/producer he is behind the cybersoc.com blog, about the collision of journalism, online communities, citizen journalism and the law.
Rhidian Wynn-Davies, Consulting Editor of The Telegraph Media Group, and one of the men behind the papers move to a new publishing platform will also be there, along with Jan Brown, editorial design consultant, who has worked with major publishers as a consultant following her time as Design Director of Haymarket Business Publications.
Back to work on Monday!
