9:45 TO 10:10 (INCL. Q&A)

JULIE PACE, ASSOCIATED PRESS BUREAU CHIEF, WASHINGTON DC MODERATOR STEPHEN GAISFORD, Journalist and Consultant

Last year, News Xchange ended with speculation about just what journalistic life with the newly elected President of the United States, Donald Trump, might bring. And although there was no way of knowing for sure at that stage, there was much speculation about diminishing press freedoms or access, a contentious relationship with the press – especially with those organizations he had criticized and mocked during the election – and a penchant for declaring news to be “fake”.

Now, one year later, it is time to look at the reality. Julie Pace, Bureau Chief in

Washington, DC, will give us an upfront and personal view of covering Trump. What’s it like in the bubble of the Trump White House? What is it like to report in the era of “fake news”? What’s next, does she think?

10:15 TO 11:05 (INCL. Q&A)

SESSION: STRATEGIC DECISIONS PRODUCERNews XchangeMODERATOR JACQUELINE SIMMONS, Executive Editor of Global Business, Bloomberg NewsPANELISTSTOMMY EVANS, CNN; MAPI MHLANGU, eNCA; SALAH NEGM, Al Jazeera; JOHN PULLMAN, Reuters

In a time of budgets under pressure how do big news organisations prioritise where they spend their money? Do we all chase the same stories – perhaps there are some examples of news organisations going it alone and it paying off? How do global news organisations achieve a global balance? Is there a danger they choose to cover news where they have people, and how do you fight this tendency?

Consider the hurricanes that hit the US at the same time as a major cyclone  in Bangladesh. What sort of balance should a news organisation be aiming for? And the question of risk versus reward. How do you decide how long to spend a on a story as the costs mount up, e.g., Iraq? Senior editorial guests will discuss how they reach decisions on strategies, what has changed, what stays the same.

11:05 TO 11:20 (INCL. Q&A)

SHORT SHARP: YUSUF OMAR AND SUMAIYA OMAR, CO-FOUNDERS, #HASHTAG OUR STORIES

Yusuf Omar participated as a speaker at last year’s News Xchange conference, addressing the question, “Is mainstream media out of touch?” (Yusuf said, emphatically, “Yes, you are”.) In the intervening 12 months, Yusuf has gone on to become a senior social journalist at CNN and, most recently, to launch his own news organization, #Hashtag Our Stories: The Next Billion People Online Will Make You Want To Know Their Stories.

Yusuf and Sumaiya say the golden age of journalism is now. And it’s all about mobilizing the mobile to gather the world’s stories. Building news communities and partnering with major news organizations. Are they right?

11:20 TO 11:35 (INCL. Q&A)

SHORT SHARP: MOLLY BINGHAM, PRESIDENT AND CEO, ORB MEDIA, JOURNALIST AND FILMMAKER

An award-winning documentary filmmaker, photographer and journalist, Molly has covered news and conflicts around the globe. Her work has been featured in leading media outlets, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian, Rolling Stone, The Independent, Vanity Fair, and she has appeared on top network and cable television and radio news programs.

In this short sharp, Molly will talk about Orb’s groundbreaking investigative journalism series, Invisibles: The Plastic Inside Us, the first ever global scientific study on the overwhelming prevalence of microplastics—extremely small pieces (less than 5 mm) of plastic debris resulting from the disposal and breakdown of consumer products and industrial waste—in tap water. How did Orb partner with global organizations, and what has happened since this groundbreaking journalism was published?

Many of the biggest news stories of 2017 were broken by eyewitnesses who reported what they saw on social media. In addition to eyewitnesses, sources including reporters, governments officials, and emergency responders post to social media during breaking news events, providing critical updates and context. Learn how leading newsrooms transform early reports sourced by Dataminr into broadcast news, and see the alerting platform in action during the live product demo.

FACEBOOK: GETTING THE MOST OUT OF VIDEO

• Produced and led by Facebook. Presenters: Nick Wrenn and Caitlin Ramrakha. • Room: FACEBOOK WORKSHOP ROOM (See p.19)

It’s predicted that by 2020, more than 75% of the world’s mobile data traffic will be video. Video offers publishers new opportunities to keep people engaged for longer, as well as new ways to increase revenue. In this workshop we’ll review how video is growing on Facebook and explain the opportunities to build audiences, earn revenue and innovate using video on demand, Facebook Live and 360.

IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE WORKSHOPS, WE WILL BREAK FOR LUNCH.

SESSION: SOCIAL MEDIA, MEDIA LITERACY AND AUDIENCE TRUST

PRODUCERNews XchangeMODERATOR MANDY JENKINS, StoryfulPANELISTSCLEMENCE LEMAISTRE, Les Echos; JACQUES PEZET, Corretiv

This intimate chat will see Mandy Jenkins, and two prominent guests discuss social media literacy in the news environment for newsrooms and their audiences. The conversation will focus on the impact of disinformation and social media literacy against the landscape of nationalistic movements, especially in Europe and the US. We’ll cover the various platforms in play at any given time during major news cycles and how information moves between open networks like Twitter, closed networks and the dark web, only to end up in your audience’s Facebook feeds. Attendees will walk away with a deeper understanding of modern social media newsgathering and getting the “story behind the story”.

15:25 TO 16:05 (INCL. Q&A)

MARGARITA SIMONYAN, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, RT

TOPIC The Outsider’s ViewQ&A MODERATOR ROGER HEARING, BBC News

In a recent interview with NPR in the United States, RT’s Editor-in-Chief, Margarita Simonyan, said her news organization is working to counter the narrative being told by mainstream media. To be “the outsider” reporting the news from other perspectives. At the same time, France’s president Macron recently accused the English-language news channel RT of “deceitful propaganda.”

8

So, which is it? In this presentation, we’ll have an opportunity to hear Margarita Simonyan’s own take on “the outsider’s view” and what that really means in terms of journalism, stories and audiences.

SHORT SHARP: TIRANA HASSAN, CRISIS RESPONSE DIRECTOR, AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL

TOPIC What Happens When Platforms Remove Violent Videos?

The tension between the desire to keep information unfettered and the need to prevent the abuse of channels by violent or hate groups is complicated. And difficult. In the effort to curb extremism, Amnesty International’s Tirana Hassan shares the often devastating effect of these policies on justice and human rights.

16:40 TO 16:55 (INCL. Q&A)

SHORT SHARP: ZAHRA RASOOL, EDITORIAL LEAD, CONTRAST VR

17:00 TO 17:25 (INCL. Q&A)

SISONKE MSIMANG, JOURNALIST, SOCIAL CRITICA AND “OPINIONISTA”

TOPICStatues & Flags: The Role of the Media in Polarised Societies MODERATORGUIDO BAUMHAUER, Deutsche Welle

In recent years, media institutions have come under fire for failing to predict massive political upsets:  Brexit and Trump’s win being the most commonly cited examples. Yet the failure of the media to “know” anything with “certainty” is a function of a far wider set of social problems.  Chief among these is the fact that around the world the distance between people of different belief systems seems to be widening - certainly in terms public expressions of difference.  

Yet the role of the media is to provide information in non-partisan and ‘objective’ ways, and in societies that are increasingly complex, that have multiple stakeholders and that are increasingly polarized.  

In such situations can the media ever really win?  Can it tell stories that are “objective and impartial”?  

This talk looks at the pitfalls of ‘impartiality’ in fractured societies, arguing that it is only by being more explicit and straightforward about subjectivity, that media institutions can gain trust.

SESSION: REPORTING TERROR

PRODUCERCHRIS GIBSON, BBC News; Executive Producer JONATHAN MUNRO, BBC News MODERATORMARTIN BASHIR, BBC NewsPANELISTSRYAN BRODERICK, Buzzfeed; IBRAHIM HELAL, Al Jazeera; DAHLIA LITHWICK, Slate; JUDITH MORITZ, BBC; JONATHAN MUNRO, BBC; MARC SALA, TVE

Sensationalising terrorism It is the responsibility of the media to not sensationalize terror attacks. Broadcasters have long been accused of inadvertently granting renown by glamorizing those who perpetrate terror. Are the media becoming recruiters?

13

Bias and language Azzam Tamimi, Editor-in-Chief of the London based Arabic channel, Al Hiwar says that many broadcasters are too simplistic and sensationalist in their coverage and this comes from deeply held prejudices and anxieties about Muslims.  The allegation is that prejudice or unconscious bias spreads fear and confusion and the framing of television reportage, when allowed to continue unchecked, reinforces prejudices and stereotypes. What are we doing to address our own bias?  What is required to address cultural prejudice?

Western lives matter moreAre the media guilty of prioritising the lives of westerners over those from other regions? Is a terrorist attack in London or Barcelona covered with a level of emotion and compassion, whereas similar incidents in Gaza or Afghanistan will be reported as just another incident in a violent region of the world.  The humanitarian impacts are oftentimes much more severe in the latter, yet the weight of compassionate coverage is the reverse.

What are the best practices for reporting a terror story? In the golden age of journalism, are these practices achievable? Why or why not?

PANELISTS DR. ANTHEA BUTLER, Writer and Professor, University of Pennsylvania; MARY HAMILTON, The Guardian; ALEXANDRA PASCALIDOU, Journalist

14

We have done many sessions on safety in the past. Today, we must add harassment (especially online) and cyberbullying to the language of safety. Threats of rape, lynching, kidnapping, murder, harm to children or family members, name-calling and other targeted attacks threaten to silence voices and perspectives, especially those of women. This will be an intimate, personal discussion, led by Hannah Storm, INSI, and two guests who will speak candidly of their experiences and what they are doing to fight the harassment, and one who will talk about what news organizations can do to combat this.

LUNCHTIME SESSION: A PRACTICAL CONVERSATION ABOUT JOURNALIST SAFETY

PRODUCERINSIMODERATORCILLA BENKO, Swedish RadioPARTICIPANTSPHIL CHETWYND, AFP; TOMMY EVANS, CNN; others TBDRoom: LUNCHTIME SESSIONS ROOM (see p.19)

In this informal session, you’re invited to explore ideas and share tips on how to prepare local journalists before they go to cover stories with traumatic content and support them if they experience difficulties dealing with what they have experienced. This is not about the experienced foreign correspondent; rather, this is about the reporter unaccustomed to covering dangerous situations (domestic terror attacks, hurricanes and extreme weather) and suddenly finding themselves in danger, feeling anxious or worse. What are some practical ideas for dealing with this? Bring your lunch, pull up a chair, join colleagues in problem-solving and knowledge-sharing.

14:10 TO 15:05 (INCL. Q&A)

SESSION: ARE JOURNALISTS BIASED AGAINST POPULAR MOVEMENTS?

PRODUCERNAJA NIELSENMODERATORTINE GOTZSCHE (DR) PARTICIPANTSDR. MIGUEL OTERO, Executive Editor and Pubisher (in exile) El Nacional (Venezuela); FRAUKE PETRY, former co-leader of the AfD political party (Germany)

Popular parties from the left and the right attack the media and called us “Elitist”, “Peddlers of Fake News”, “Lügenpresse” (“Liar Press”) and more. In this session we will meet two speakers -- one from each “side” -- who will share their very personal experiences of the Press vs Popular Movement war.

Miguel Enrigue Otero firmly backed Hugo Chavez when the Venezuelan took power in 1999 with the incredibly huge support of 80 percent of the population. Today, Sr Otero has been forced into exile in Spain, from where he runs El Nacional, one of the only Venezuelan newspapers still critical of the Maduro government. In the Venezuela of today you can’t be neutral, he says, but does that mean he has left journalism and has become a politician or activist instead?

Frauke Petry was, until this September, the Co-Leader of Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), Germany’s new and popular right wing party. The AfD has excluded several German publishers from events because of what it sees as unfair and biased reporting. Frauke Petry has now left AfD to form a new, more moderate right wing party, but she remains steadfast in her critique of the press. But, we might ask, how can the press be anything other than critical to a party that does not respect and uphold the principle of freedom of the press?

SESSION: MISINFORMATION ECOSYSTEM

PRODUCERNews Xchange, NHKMODERATORSAM DUBBERLEY, News XchangePARTICIPANTS AMANDINE AMBREGNI, AFP; KRISTIN BECKER, ARD; DR. MASATO KAJIMOTO, University of Hong Kong; SATOSHI YAMAMOTO, NHK

It’s not just Donald Trump. It’s heads of state and government around the world who have taken to dismissing stories and investigations with which they disagree as fake news. Aung San Suu Kyi has referred to an “iceberg of misinformation” around events in Rakhine state in Myanmar since August.  Basar al-Assad denounced claims about the sarin gas attack in Khan Sheikoun, saying, “100 percent for us, it’s fabrication.” In France, the presidential candidate Emanuel Macron was accused of receiving campaign funding from Saudi Arabia.  Alongside this, the mainstream media globally is accused of working for a neoliberal conspiracy. The social media companies have still not been able to deal with criticisms re: their ineffectiveness of repressing content on their networks which are false. After the Las Vegas shootings of September 2017, a conspiracy theory video on the recommendations page of YouTube was viewed over 1 million times. 

This session will explore initiatives around mis/disinformation, especially since NX 2016. We will ask if the industry has moved on and, if so, how. What initiatives have emerged through 2017, and what have we learnt from them? We’ll ask if we’re looking in the right places and if we, as an industry, can truly move on. We’ll also ask how we might get away from the formulaic nature of our industry to tackle the misinformation problem. We’ll ask where should the industry go, and what new models - business, relationships with networks etc - do we need to look at to get there.

PRODUCERNews XchangeMODERATOR SAMEER PADANIA, Macro ScopePANELISTS JAVIER LASA CASTRO, Grupo Prisa, El Pais; MADHAV CHINNAPPA, Google; NIENKE VENEMA, Democracy and Media Foundation

Innovation requires more than creative thinking and more than human ingenuity. It also requires funding. What are some of the funding models out there, how do they work, what are the pitfalls and what are the rewards? How do we begin thinking about funding the innovation we know we need? We’ll hear from two funding organizations, Google’s DNI Fund and the Democracy and Media Foundation, as well as from a recipient of funding for his organization’s massive work in managing video and audio assets — including big data, artificial intelligence, semantic filters in the new ecosystem of social video, and TV-like video consumption experiences.
