The Evolving Newsroom is a site run by Julie Starr, a journalist with outstanding credentials to observe what’s happening to the news business and information flows:: From TEN’s “About” page:

…. she’s been a reporter, sub-editor, page layout sub, chief sub-editor, radio presenter, workflow specialist, change agent and editorial manager.

She was part of the team who designed and launched the Daily Telegraph’s integrated web-and-print newsroom in the UK, having a particular focus on future workflows.

Now back in New Zealand after 10 years overseas, Julie is Editor-in-Residence at Wintec’s School of Media Arts in Hamilton, does some journalism teaching and presentations on changes affecting news companies, and takes on project work.

She has a strong interest in designing newsroom workflows, news delivery and increasingly in using social networks and web applications to gather and distribute news.

Julie has no idea what the news business will look like in 10 years but she’s enjoying the ride in the meantime.

Every post at The Evolving Newsroom seems to be concise, nuanced and timely.

Assuming that one thinks that news and information flows – we do – are essential issues that define us as communities – and affect politics, policy and outcomes.
