How do you break into the notoriously clubby media industry? In an age of digital disruption, the answers to this question have never been less clear, or more diverse.

We’ve assembled a breaking-news reporter, a data journalist, a cadet and a freelance writer to outline how they have used everything from traditional cadetships to social media to jumpstart their careers.  They’ll discuss how they broke in, the challenges facing emerging journalists and what opportunities can be seized in a rapidly changing industry.

Hosted by Andrew Dodd, with Michael Roddan, Kirsten Robb, Cassie Zervos and Ben Eltham.

This event is also available as part of a Thursday Day Pass.
