What do you lead on? Summit proceedings or summit disruption? How do you avoid being manipulated by easy access and images specifically designed to lead you by the nose and make you someone's useful idiot?
The new reality is that spectacular televisual stunts performed by single-issue lobbyists and stage-manage violent protests are now part of today's news landscape, often taking precedence in the news agenda over the events they disrupt. Hard-pressed newsrooms are bombarded with neatly packaged and cleverly worded press releases from Government, PR companies, pressure groups, citizen journalists and everyone else with a story to push. How do we retain objectivity and balance and keep our heads above the flood tide of propaganda? And in the era of news personalities and infotainment, where do we stand on all this? Should we play it straight or jump on the bandwagon and go for shock value and ratings?

Here's a new reality we all know very well: A broadcaster without an eye on the bottom line cannot survive. Many news organizations are now having to think the unthinkable - how to make money in the digital space. Our most valuable asset is our content - and platforms like YouTube show that video remains as popular as ever - but the trouble is we've been giving it away for years and no one wants to pay for it. Is it too late? Or is now the time to find new ways to monetize news video? Which 'stores' should offer it, and how does it retail - via a paywall, mobiles and apps, sponsorship and advertising or something we haven't yet thought of?

Just when you think you've equipped your newsroom with the latest cutting-edge technology, along comes something new. A year ago, HD news seemed years down the road for many networks: can you still say that today? Virtual studios are becoming ever more sophisticated: but is what they save in construction more than wiped out by keeping up with technology? And what about news in 3-D? Fantasy? Are you sure? All you need to know about the practical hurdles in upgrading your newsroom and the costs you're likely to face: plus a glimpse into a future world where today's news images may look a little, well, flat.

Word editors turned web editors. Reporters publish web-first. Masthead considers web and video strategy. There is no doubt that print has emerged as a competitor for your audience with The New York Times now one of the most visited news sites in the world.
Have you ever stopped to think that your competition is not just other broadcasters - it's also newspapers. And newspapers are really good at this stuff! Even more than broadcasters, newspapers are recognizing the limits of simply taking their content and posting it straight onto the web. They are pushing past traditional newsroom practices and producing dynamic, interactive digital journalism with video! Positioning your organization to do the same requires not only careful re-rigging, but also an understanding of news as ongoing interaction with readers and viewers. Join members of The New York Times' Interactive News team for insights into their approach to the new reality of digital news making. Find out what you can do...

What does your audience look like? Now take a look around your newsroom - do your journalists reflect your audience? And who does your output reflect - your audience or your journalists? Is your newsroom and your output 'hideously white' or multicultural?
And when race is the story do you treat those who look different as outsiders or part of your society? The new reality is that diversity is now part of the equation: In Germany, more than 16 million people have ethnic roots, Amsterdam is one of the most diverse cities in Europe with some 45% of the population consisting of ethnics minorities; and in Britain, a recent study says ethnic minorities will total a fifth of the population by 2051. These numbers leave us in no doubt that the news media needs a wider understanding of cultural and ethnic differences to be both inclusive and representative of the communities they are trying to report. Perhaps easier said than done - let's learn from our diversity champions.
