💬 We convened a roundtable earlier this year focused on exploring challenges and identifying responses across the news media industry and are excited to launch the results of our conversations in this report next week (at 3:30 pm on 4 December).

🤓 Researchers @dbossio.bsky.social and @eddyhurc.bsky.social hosted an interactive workshop with participants from across Australia's sporting industries to discuss the challenges modern sports organisations face in trying to find and keep viewers in an era of audience fragmentation.

🏏 Our NTS Network was invited to take part in #AustralianSportsInnovation week last week by holding an industry workshop and attending the Content Live Industry show. Our Network co-presented "Understanding Australian Screen and Sport Audiences" with another RMIT EIP Network.

📖 The #RoutledgeCompanionToVisualJournalism is now available for pre-order. It features a whopping 41 chapters over 524 pages and is richly accompanied by all types of visuals from photographs and screenshots to AI-generated images and data visualisations.
