Looking Back at News Impact Summit Berlin: Tweets and Links (#NISBER)

200 journalists met for the fifth edition of the News Impact Summit in Berlin last week. The free media innovation event was organized by the European Journalism Centre (EJC) and the Google News Lab and focused on the theme “New Tools, Immersive Storytelling & Engagement”. Nine of the talks have been archived at Voice Republic. The next summit will take place in Helsinki/Finland on September 26, 2016.

I collected the most interesting tweets (hashtag: #NISBER) and most helpful links:
