Theater dialogue: social media

Four themes, four real-world cases. Every newsroom faces similar challenges — and each finds its own way forward. In this theatre-style dialogue, we’ll explore what works, where the friction lies, and what we can learn from one another.

Social media has become essential to journalism, but is the reverse also true? For most users, journalistic platforms are just one of many sources of information. So where does that leave you, as an individual journalist, on these platforms? Popular spaces like X are increasingly flooded with conspiracy theorists and conflict-driven content, while alternatives like Bluesky are still struggling to gain traction. In this session, we’ll explore how journalists can navigate the shifting challenges of social media today.
