Storyology 2017

Overview

Find yourself surrounded by some of the world's brightest journalists at this year's Storyology, coming to Brisbane for the first time at the end of August. Brought to you by The Walkley Foundation, Australia's networking festival of media and storytelling welcomes Australian and international journalists who will be leading talks and lectures on today's big questions around the forever-changing industry.

What will newsrooms look like as new technologies arise and develop? How does one go about turning their stories into successful podcasts? How has the 'Trump Effect' impacted media outside of the US? Topics like these and many more will be discussed in conversations lead by Buzzfeed and Google executives, Pulitzer Prize-winning critics and journalists flying in from across the world. Discuss the realities of fake news at The F-word, learn from investigative reporters about Queensland's life of crime and experience Afghanistan through the eyes of a photojournalist at Capturing Afghanistan, with all events held at the Brisbane Powerhouse. 

The festival kicks off in Brisbane on August 24 with Storyology After Dark for a 'night of great yarns', and will host events for both journos and the general public.
