Event Information
Description
NEW. NOW. NEXT. – JOURNALISM IN THE MOBILE AGE
AAJA-ASIA N3CON SEOUL
MAY 27-29
Social media, smart phones and now virtual reality platforms are changing the way journalism is being “done” these days. Taken to the extreme, will robots one day replace human journalists? Can they? What about practices of old-fashioned journalism, where reporters walk “beats” and knock on doors to seek out sources, instead of pinging requests on Twitter or sourcing from Facebook pages? In this digital and mobile world, how will journalism – and journalists – evolve?
Join us as we delve into these areas and explore Journalism in The Mobile Age at the annual AAJA-Asia international media conference. Once again, this year’s event – our 6th annual conference – will be held in Seoul.
Over this weekend, more than 300 journalists from around the region, and the United States, will participate in a weekend of workshops, panels, evening soirees and tour programs. Come network with speakers and participants from international news organisations such as Bloomberg, the Associated Press and The New York Times, as well as Seoul’s major media outlets.
Get ready to share your best practices with journalists from print, broadcast, radio and new media. Learn some new technical skills, discover more about regional issues and get advice on how to advance your career.
Sponsors include Google and the Center for Creative Economy and Innovation.

Organizer Asia Chapter of Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA)
Organizer of NEW.NOW.NEXT. MEDIA CONFERENCE I SEOUL MAY 27-29
The Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA) is a U.S.-based nonprofit organization that serves Asian American and Pacific Islander journalists. Our goals include making newsrooms more ethnically and racially diverse and ensuring fair and accurate coverage of the Asian community.
In Asia, the organization hosts the New.Now.Next Media Conference, an annual international event drawing top journalists and experts to discuss the latest issues in the region and hold seminars and workshops.
The Asia chapter was founded in 1996 by two AAJA members working in Asia, Allen Cheng in Hong Kong and Alan Ota in Tokyo. When Alan returned to the U.S. in 1997, Allen stayed on as president and Dalton Tanonaka became vice president. An early highlight was an ambitious series of programs in Hong Kong for AAJA members and other visiting journalists who covered the handover of the territory to China in 1997.
Today, the Asia chapter has about 200 members across the region. They work for a range of media, from The Associated Press, Thomson Reuters and Dow Jones to CNN, ABC, VOA and CCTV. We are a networking group for AAJA members in Asia and the Pacific and a bridge for AAJA members who come to the region or want to work here. We hold talks, workshops and socials in various cities throughout the year and offer advice and support to fellow AAJA members with an interest in Asia.
