Join us for our next Media Society debate on Zoom to discuss the rise of Newsletters - and how they are changing the world of journalism and communication.
On Zoom - Wednesday April 30th 2025 at 6pm
In the last few years, platforms such as Substack have transformed the newsletter business - making it one of the biggest growing new media areas in recent years.
Many high-profile journalists have left legacy media outlets to set up their own newsletters. Newsletters are also being seen as a saviour for local media.
But how do you launch and grow a successful newsletter? Are we reaching a saturation point in subscriptions? And what about accuracy and fairness?
Our Panel so far:
- Stephen Bush - as one of the most influential newsletter writers in the UK, he writes the Financial Times Inside Politics newsletter. He previously worked for the i newspaper, the New Statesman, and the Daily Telegraph.
- Doomberg - a finance newsletter published on Substack by a group of entrepreneurs from the industrial sector, which has grown to become one of the most widely read finance newsletters. Doomberg writers do not reveal their names, so one of the team will appear on the panel behind an image of their trademark logo.
The event will be introduced by the Media Society President Nigel Dacre.
You will be able to ask questions when you book a ticket, and during the event itself.
Book via Eventbrite. Ticket prices range from £7.50 for Media Society members to £15 for non-members. Free admission for Media Society Student Members.
