What’s next for the newsroom: AI, trust and the technology to watch out for

Laura Ellis, Head of technology forecasting @ BBC

The pace of change sometimes feels overwhelming – new chatbots, new functionality, new dangers. Through the maelstrom how can we keep our heads, make AI work for us and make sure those using it without the best motives don’t work against us? Alongside this, how can we maintain the essential trust in our work we need for news to survive and thrive?

Reimagining Newrooms: Driving innovation through workflow transformation

Ross Dagan, Executive vice president and head of news operations and transformation @ CBS News and Stations

In this session, Ross Dagan, EVP and Head of News Operations and Transformation at CBS News and Stations, will share how CBS is reworking its internal systems to better align with the realities of modern news production.
Dagan will dive into the role of workflow in enabling more connected, responsive, and scalable journalism—from improving coordination between local and national teams to simplifying how stories move across platforms.
This is not about technology alone, but about how people, tools, and processes come together to support editorial priorities. Attendees will learn how a more connected, agile newsroom lays the foundation for the future of news.
