Raju Narisetti London Presentation July 2012
The document discusses how journalism is facing challenges in the digital age to engage and retain audiences. It argues that newsrooms must shift their focus from creating great content to providing great user experiences by better integrating journalism, technology, and audience needs. Developers and journalists must work together to build immersive and dynamic experiences across multiple platforms to attract and keep the increasingly promiscuous digital audience.
