This year’s workshops and speeches will be delivered by some of the most influential people in British media today - including professionals working in all areas of media, from journalists, to press officers, to experts in media law and advertising revenue.

 

We'll also be launching the first Student Human Rights Reporter of the Year Award. You'll learn all about the award, the amazing selection of prizes we're putting together and details of how to enter.
 
The format of the two days is as follows:
 
Day 1 - Issues for Student Journalists - Midday to 7pm
 
An opportunity to hear from leading practitioners about the issues that affect today's journalists and to generate content for your own outlets.

Experts and professionals will discuss journalistic and human rights issues in speeches and panel debates and you will have a chance to field your own questions and to conduct one- on-one interviews with some of the speakers.
 
Day 2 - Workshops - 10am to 5pm
 
Choose from a series of workshops taught by experts in the field and helping improve your editorial and journalistic skills.

 

 

The event is open to anyone involved in student media, however places are limited and we reserve the right to limit the numbers of attendees from any one institution or publication. There is a £5 charge per person to register for the event to help cover costs.

 

Please note your booking does not include accommodation.

If you require accommodation we recommend staying at the University of Westminster, Alexander Fleming House Halls. A room for the night of the 2nd September will cost £29.50 and the halls are a short walk from the Human Rights Action Centre.
