The upcoming edition of the much-awaited annual media conference, the NewsNext Summit, is scheduled to take place on March 30 at The Imperial, New Delhi. Industry leaders, renowned broadcasters and journalists will come together under one roof and share key insights on the theme ‘News Broadcasting in The Digital Era’. Every year, the NewsNext Summit by e4m gathers key figures from News TV, media experts, advertisers, brand marketers, academicians, and global media leaders to delve into the trajectory of TV news.

The landscape of News TV has been witnessing significant evolution over the years. In an era where TV newsrooms are navigating through significant changes, often uncertain about the direction these changes will take them, our summit aims to provide a platform for insightful dialogue. At the conference, the speakers will share insights on a wide range of topics including how is journalism changing in the age of AI, is journalism better or worse off when social platforms take down news tabs, challenges & opportunities of covering elections in a polarised and diverse society, how to bridge the trust gap, YouTube News Channels: Vanity Projects or Impactful Journalism, among others.

The contemporary News TV landscape is witnessing a transformative shift, moving from catering solely to a TV audience to engaging with audiences across various platforms. News TV is transitioning from being a conventional TV broadcaster to a comprehensive broadcaster. The NewsNext Summit aims to provide an inclusive forum for the industry to introspect, engage in constructive dialogue, and explore viable solutions to the myriad challenges facing News TV today.
