Journalism students' coverage
Last, but definitely not least, Play the Game had teamed up with a group of journalism students from the Danish School of Media and Journalism who contributed to the conference coverage. The students ran their own independent newsroom during the conference and their work was published under the name ‘On the Game’.
The eight students produced an abundance of content mainly distributed through social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. The ‘On the Game’ team also ran a website with numerous articles covering various aspects of the conference.
