Join Tortoise Media for a live recording of the hit podcast, 'The News Meeting' and help set the news agenda.
In every newsroom around the world there’s a daily editorial conference to decide what leads the news, what follows and in what order. In the hit podcast The News Meeting, Tortoise gives listeners a chance to hear how editorial conferences work, and how these conversations shape the news agenda.
Three journalists pitch the stories they think are most important to a Tortoise editor. If you’re in the audience, you’ll be able to have your say and share the stories you think our editors should be talking about.
