The BBC College of Journalism, working in partnership with journalism.co.uk, took part in the news:rewired event at City University.
It was a fascinating day of workshops, lectures and debates to help journalists, trainees, students and academics learn more about multimedia, social networking and online skills.
The event began with two keynote addresses: by George Brock, the Head of Journalism at City University, and Kevin Marsh, the Executive Editor of the BBC College of Journalism.
