Really excited to be going back to my hometown for a journalism conference after years of speaking in other countries. At Media Party Barcelona, I'll be talking about how journalists can collaborate with citizens on public interest investigations, both in a lightning talk and with Sabrina Faramarzi in a hands-on workshop. If you're around and fancy talking about this or anything journalism related, let me know and let's grab a coffee! ☕ #MediaParty

(The Guardian), Sarah Alvarez Media), Sasa Vucinic (North Base Media), and Priti Patnaik (Geneva Health Files).

Este septiembre estaremos en Media Party Barcelona 2026, ¿y tú? 👋 Los próximos 7 y 8 de septiembre, CaixaForum Barcelona reunirá a periodistas, medios, desarrolladores y profesionales de la comunicación y la tecnología para hablar sobre el presente y el futuro de la información corporativa. Periodismo, inteligencia artificial, nuevos formatos, innovación, distribución de contenidos… y cómo está cambiando la forma en la que descubrimos y consumimos información. Temas que, como podéis imaginar, nos tocan muy de cerca en Comunicae 😉 En un momento en el que medios, buscadores y sistemas de IA conviven como vías de acceso a la información, también está cambiando la manera en la que las noticias corporativas se distribuyen, se encuentran y ganan visibilidad... así que no nos podíamos perder esta cita. Tenemos muchas ganas de escuchar, aprender, compartir y encontrarnos con profesionales del sector. Si vas a estar por allí, nos vemos en unos días en Media Party Barcelona 🙌 https://lnkd.in/eDSuCFeB
The future of journalism isn't being written by algorithms — it's being defended, questioned, and reimagined by the people who show up to build it. Media Party Buenos Aires 2026 is back October 29–31 at Ciudad Cultural Konex, and this edition takes on the defining question of the moment: what happens to journalism when AI agents can generate, curate, and even argue a narrative on their own? This year's theme is cognitive sovereignty — protecting human editorial judgment while daring to experiment with the new storytelling forms AI makes possible. It's not a conference about fearing the machines. It's about deciding, deliberately, what we refuse to delegate to them. On the agenda: Keynote from Caspar Llewellyn Smith, Chief AI Officer at The Guardian 🛠️ Hands-on workshops on AI tools and new methods for newsrooms ⚡ Lightning talks for founders and builders pitching ideas that matter 🏗️ A hackathon where teams turn concepts into working prototypes Last year's edition brought together 200+ speakers and 2,000+ professionals from 30 countries. This one is shaping up to be even bigger. Got something to teach or a project worth pitching? Media Party is now accepting proposals: 📝 Workshops — teach a new tool, skill, or method → https://lnkd.in/dcxwD6xN ⚡ Lightning Talks — pitch your project, idea, or startup → https://lnkd.in/dYhGGHCk 🗓️ Announcements: September 13 📍 Ciudad Cultural Konex, Buenos Aires 📅 October 29–31, 2026 🎟️ Tickets: https://lnkd.in/drb-GdWi 🔗 Full event info: https://lnkd.in/dEFQpc-e If you work in media, journalism, or the tools shaping its future — this is where the conversation is happening. #MediaParty #Journalism #AI #BuenosAires #MediaInnovation

Introducing Paula Szewach (Researcher at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center), who joins Media Party Barcelona to lead an interactive workshop: 📌 "The Architecture of Persuasion: What LLM Research Platforms Reveal About Bots in the Wild" Starting with a live chatroom experiment alongside AI agents, the session explores how LLMs imitate human behavior. It pulls back the curtain on how scientific research frameworks, when stripped of consent and transparency, power coordinated bot networks—and equips attendees with a practical checklist to evaluate suspiciously coordinated comment sections. An essential workshop for journalists, researchers, and media professionals investigating online influence and AI-driven disinformation. 🎟️ Register today at https://lnkd.in/dSFnyBQQ #MediaParty #MediaPartyBarcelona #NewsroomAI #AIBots #MediaInnovation #JournalismTech
