Briefing with Sky News

Bookings are now closed for this event.

Wednesday March 19 2025

This will be an in-person briefing at Sky News HQ in Isleworth in south-west London. This is the first time that we have organised such an event. It’s a great opportunity to get to know the Sky News team and see how the newsroom works.

We will be meeting the foreign news and digital teams. Sky has strong track record of international reporting under Tim Singleton, head of international news. Also, as many of you will know, Sky has recently announced a new video-first strategy which will prioritise digital news over the news channel. We will be hearing more about this.

Both groups will be meeting Danielle Weekes-Chilufya, Programme Editor, The World with Yalda Hakim.

Unfortunately, since demand is likely to be high, and Sky does not have space for everyone, we are limiting places to one person per member organisation. Please register below if you would like to attend.

There will be two sessions, one from 10-12 and the other from 2-4. You will be allocated to one of these. However, if you have a preference for one session over the other, then please let us know. Email henry@ibt.org.uk
