FT Strategies and the Google News Initiative recently hosted its second annual alumni summit, News In The Digital Age - and what a day it was! Once again, it was a privilege to welcome over 300 news organisations from around the globe for a day dedicated to knowledge exchange and community building, featuring insights from top media leaders, editors, and industry partners.
