Our Newsrewired digital journalism conference is fast approaching and we are really excited about the speaker lineup and the topics we have in store. To offer you a taster of what is coming on 27 November, we caught up with four of our panelists on this week's podcast to talk about what delegates will take away from the event. Driving diversity in your newsroom is not just a worthy ideal, businesses also cannot afford to ignore the need to diversify their newsrooms to attract new audiences. Marverine Cole, journalist, broadcaster and academic, Birmingham City University touches on how she is championing diversity in education and the industry, but also why news organisations must focus their efforts on diversity to survive. For local news organisations, resources are spread thinly and it can be difficult to keep up with the workload.
