In an era defined by a constant battle for attention, how do the world’s leading producers continue to grow their reach while deepening their connection with existing audiences? As news media evolves from simple daily briefings into cinematic deep-dives and high-impact video, the bar for engagement - and accuracy - has never been higher.

Hosted by the award-winning BBC journalist Ciara Riordan, this session brings together award-winning executive producer, investigatons Will Roe and executive producer Molly Guinness from The Times and The Sunday Times, alongside Jake Strong-Jones, Head of Video Distribution at The Sun. Together, they will pull back the curtain on the creative and editorial strategies driving their wide range of news-focused programme making, exploring how to build deep audience trust while pioneering bold new ways to engage and inform across both audio and video platforms.
