In Conversation With
Anne will be joined onstage by Joanna Carr, Head of Current Affairs for BBC News, for an exclusive conversation about the changing media landscape. Joanna will discuss the challenges that journalists and marketers face when it comes to crafting storytelling that has the power to cut through the noise.
Drawing on Joanna’s experience commissioning current affairs content for the BBC, Anne will dig into how Joanna identifies the stories she knows will resonate with an audience, how she develops the hook to bring that audience in, and how she finds the angle to tell the story from the most engaging perspective.
