What: Fundamentally, it is crucial for all newsrooms to make sharper choices about what they report on — and how. Niche news sites have no choice in this, but mainstream news can learn a lot by using these differentiation strategies in all stages of the content cycle. Through the lens of successful case studies from FIN News (USA) and Chemistry World (UK), we’ll explore how making precise editorial choices can significantly enhance the relevance and impact of your content. Together we’ll address the question every journalistic organisation should ask themselves: why do you matter to your audience and how do you make a difference for them?
