Following the workshop visitors were given a tour of the Express & Star newsroom, led by political editor Peter Madeley.
They were able to see the news and sports teams in operation as they prepared the latest stories for the newspaper and websites.
The guests were also shown around the MNA Digital operation before they had the chance to network with lunch in the Express & Star boardroom.
