Learn how to turn your journalistic curiosity and investigative skills inward to find bold solutions for your newsroom.

How can you learn to think like that? This rapid-fire, tactics-based session will provide attendees with ideas, examples, and case studies to become a product thinker. Participants can expect to learn new frameworks for data-guided decision making and how to translate their existing journalism skills to the product mindset.
