During Internet Week Europe, our expert panel looks at the renewed interest in longform journalism online

The accepted wisdom has been that publishers should produce content for digital platforms in short, bite-sized chunks. However with new technologies enabling publishers to shift their focus to longer, more in-depth articles, we ask a panel of experts: are we ready to rewrite the rules for content online?

The panel will be discussing shifts in reading habits, how new platforms are driving change and the ways to keep long-form online financially viable.
