Second day of Journalism in Crisis

Day two of the Journalism in Crisis conference organised by the University of Westminster gas started, with a session on citizen journalism opening in the Old Cinema, and a counterpoint to yesterday’s “Glasses Half Full” workshop.

These will be followed by sessions on the relation between journalism, politics and the financial crisis.

The day will be capped off with a session by Nick Pollard, former head of Sky News, and a final inaugural lecture by BBC Director General Mark Thompson.

You have many ways to follow the action. A multi-media coverage has been set up where:

• students from the University will be blogging live on Westminster News Online
• a livestream broadcast has been arranged so that anything said or shown in the Old Cinema will be available online
• photographs will be taken throughout the day and published on the University’s Flickr account
• and since new technologies are at the centre of many discussions, there will also be “tweets” posted on Westminster’s Twitter account.
