Join us as we mark a significant milestone and celebrate 50 years of Journalism at Edinburgh Napier during this event held at the Scottish Parliament!

Digital media trends, changing news consumption and shifting business models bring both challenges and opportunities for journalists and the public. We will reflect on these issues during the evening as well as provide an opportunity for you to connect with fellow alumni, ENU staff and industry professionals.

During the first half of the evening ENU Principal, Professor Sue Rigby, will provide a University update and a panel discussion will explore the hot topics in the industry. The second half will allow for networking, and you will have the opportunity to view the work of current students and hear their plans for supporting a vibrant, diverse and robust journalism sector in Scotland.

Ahead of the event you are invited to complete our short survey. We hope these survey results will inform constructive discussions on the night, and are intended to be put forward for a potential future Members’ debate. Click here to share your thoughts.
