Singapore, April 14, 2015, PRNewswire: Digital Journalism World, which will take place May 11-12, 2015 at the One Farrer Hotel in Singapore, is Asia’s most important news media summit.

This year the event will feature an impressive panel of presenters from major news media organizations such as CNN Digital, Huffington Post, BBC News, Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Economist, International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, Cambodia Daily, Google and Yahoo to deliberate the industry’s hottest issues and key trends impacting the way news is gathered and shared.

The summit will feature many icons of industry, journalists who have given the news world a different take on news reporting and engagement with readers. To address the audience on “Doing media differently — an update on methodology and technology”, Innovation Address speaker Tim Pool is a journalist whose unique style of interactive broadcast journalism exists at the intersection of social and mainstream media. His use of augmented eyewear to cover the protests in Cairo and Brazil won him international fame in the news domain and his livestreams attracted more than 750,000 unique views in a single day. In another exciting session, presenter Andy Carvin, who is also known as the ‘man who tweets revolutions’ and also an icon in the journalism sphere, will be discussing how he covered elections and disasters with open source intelligence and reporting on Twitter.

There has never been a more exciting time than this. With new methodology and technology for news reporting available, the newsroom can be better equipped for exciting coverage of the news by integrating life reporting with video streaming and live blogging.
