Journalists from countries such as Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands will attend the 大象传媒 conference to explore the creativity involved in this kind of filmmaking.

Managers from across Europe will also be in attendance to talk about the newsrooms of the future and the challenges and opportunities presented by an entirely VJ driven operation.

Lisa Lambden, Head of SON&R, Newcastle, says: "We know that as multi-channel television continues to develop, we have to find better ways of engaging with our audiences.

"Through video journalism, 大象传媒 Nations and Regions are setting a news agenda which matters to the audience and telling stories in a more intimate and engaging way and often with much greater access than can be achieved with conventional ways of working.
