Beyond the paywall
How to pay for quality journalism in a digital world?
Conference: 9 May @ City University, 6.30pm, London.
It's time to search for a solution to how journalism can still continue in a digital world. This conference at City University in London looks as if it's going to tackle some of the big questions. With an esteemed panel of speakers, it will be interesting to see what they think...
Chaired by the UK Press Gazette's Dominic Ponsford, the panel is Geordie Greig, Dan Sabbagh and Stevie Spring.
A year ago Emily Bell, head of digital content at the Guardian, condemned paywalls as 'a stupid idea', says Dominic Ponsford.
But now, he adds, the mood around paywalls is changing. The Telegraph is looking at metered access from September and Mail Online is looking at signing up to the Google One Pass digital system.
This will all be debated at the City University conference at 6.30 pm on 9 May.
