May 5, 2016 @ 10:30 pm - May 6, 2016 @ 12:00 am

If anybody knows the rapidly changing media scene today, it is Bruce Guthrie.

He has been editor of The Saturday Age, The Age, the Herald Sun, Who Weekly, The Weekend Australian Magazine and a Senior Editor at People Magazine in New York. His work has included stints as a Fairfax columnist and ABC broadcaster and commentator.

Today, he is Editorial Director at the New Daily, a digital newsletter in its early days but already achieving remarkable readership. He is at the cutting edge of the rapid transition from 'old media' to the new.

To understand what the challenges and opportunities are for media today, come and talk with Bruce on Thursday 5 May.
