For the first time in its 21-year history, the International Symposium on Online Journalism will be online only in 2020. ISOJ Online will be held during the week of July 20 to 24, 2020. Instead of the two full days, as we have had with the in-person conference in Austin, we have scheduled ISOJ Online throughout chunks of time from Monday to Friday. So, you will be able to attend the conference, but still have time for other activities. Check the program, the amazing lineup of speakers and sign up FOR FREE.

Since 1999, journalists, media executives and scholars from around the world have had an annual meeting in Austin, Texas to discuss the impact of the digital revolution on journalism. The International Symposium on Online Journalism is a program of the Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas at the University of Texas at Austin, a unique conference that bridges the gap between academia and the news industry.
This website is equally unique. It’s an historic, one-of-a-kind, year-by-year repository of testimonials of the evolution of online journalism in the United States and the world. Here you can find content from every symposium since 1999, including transcripts, videos, slides and research papers.
