Since 1999, journalists, media executives and scholars from around the world have had an annual meeting in Austin, Texas to discuss the impact of the digital revolution on journalism.

The International Symposium on Online Journalism is a program of the Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas at the University of Texas at Austin, a unique conference that bridges the gap between academia and the news industry. Find more information about the speakers.

Fiona Morgan, MIF’s journalism network coordinator, will be there with copies of our new report Global Media Philanthropy: What Funders Need to Know About Data, Trends and Pressing Issues Facing the Field, which was produced with funding from the Gates Foundation.
