Andrew Demaria, Vice President, Editorial, CNN Digital International, shared his experience of how traditional media master the digital and how trends change the journalism:
‘CNN has been on a tremendous journey in recent years, transforming from a linear TV channel to a multi-platform news network that uses new ways of storytelling across TV and digital. I enjoyed sharing this experience with Ukrainian students and editors, and in turn hearing interesting thoughts and ideas from the audience. We are all operating in a fast-changing media landscape, and forums for sharing of ideas are important for all of us to understand the future of the news media.’
